This change looked fine.

However, I spent considerable time in figuring out the addition of 
lpm_req_regs NULL check so it would be nice to mention it in the commit 
message that since the caller's primary_pmc->lpm_req_regs check no longer 
covers all pmcs, it has to checked within the loop. It's was far from 
obvious whether it was a bugfix accidently mixed together with this patch 
or required by this change itself but I managed to finally convince 
myself it's the latter.

With that noted down for the benefit of the next unfortunate victim who 
has to read this change from the git history, :-)
