So this patchset has not been merged.

We have a patchset waiting for HiSilicon hip08 support, which includes 
the requested feature for the ARM64 IMP DEFINED recommended events 
refactoring-out.

We can send our hip08 patchset now as an RFC, based in this patchset. 
Depending on the comments and general acceptance of the approaches, it 
may be appropriate to merge the patchsets (or at least merge the 
refactoring part).

Thanks,
John
