I recognized that it's hard code to "arm_spe_0", which might break if
system registers different Arm SPE groups.  But this is not the issue
introduced by this patch, we might need to consider to fix it later.

This is not right and it should cause building failure on aarch64.

aarch64 reuses aarch32's file arch/arm/util/pmu.c, and this file has
already defined perf_pmu__arch_init(), you should add above change in
the file arch/arm/util/pmu.c.

Now I cannot access a machine for testing Arm SPE, but I will play
a bit for this patch set to ensure it can pass compilation.  After
that, I will seek Arm maintainers/reviewers help for the test.

Thanks,
