Recently someone was poking around giving the pmu device a parent, this
would, I think, result in sysfs links, which could be used to decide
what's what.

Core pmus would have the CPU device as their parent, while memory
controller thingies would link to the relevant node or something.

Ofc. all that's future-work/pending.
