Isn't an uncore PMU represented as being on CPU0 actually
collecting data that can be due to any CPU.

Or for an uncore PMU represented as being on CPU0-CPU4 on a
4 core 8 hyperthread processor, actually 1 PMU per core.

So I am not sure intersection makes sense.

Also it is not obvious what happens with hybrid CPUs or
per thread recording.
