FTR, the new #endif should be above the old #endif.

I noticed because after rebasing on top of commit 65e9fb081877a18c
("drivers/perf: riscv_pmu_sbi: add support for PMU variant on T-Head
C9xx cores") in riscv/for-next, the build failed because the new
ALT_SBI_PMU_OVERFLOW() definition ended up inside both #endifs,
instead of between.
