Yeah, I think it's good to change the function name.  Eventually, this
function should only be used for ETM4.x and ETE.

Another minor comment is: can we refine the arch version number, e.g.
change the OpenCSD's macro "ARCH_AA64" to "ARCH_V8R4", (or
"ARCH_V8R3_AA64"), this can give more clear clue what's the ETM version.

And a nitpick: how about to change OpenCSD macro "ARCH_V8r3" to
"ARCH_V8R3" and assign it for ETMv4.3 IPs.

Thanks,
Leo
