Subject: [PATCH 0/3] perf/arm-cmn: Multi-DTC improvements

On larger CMN configurations with multiple Debug & Trace Controllers,
we've so far ignored the notion of DTC domains, mostly since they were
not software-discoverable in the original CMN-600 design. However this
means that if the user wants to monitor lots of individual nodes across
the whole mesh, we end up multiplexing events which could otherwise
happily run in parallel if we allocated DTC counters per-domain. This
mini-series finally bites the bullet to do that.

As usual I've only been able to personally test that it doesn't regress
any behaviour on a single-DTC CMN-600, so it would be nice if anyone
with a multi-domain CMN-650/CMN-700 setup could confirm that patches 1+2
alone do not visibly change any behaviour, and then patch #3 on top
works as expected.

Thanks,
Robin.
