I reckon it'd be cleaner to use GENMASK_ULL for the TH and TC fields, in
include/linux/perf/arm_pmu.h have:

| /*
|  * PMXEVTYPER: Event selection reg
|  */
| #define ARMV8_PMU_EVTYPE_EVENT GENMASK(15, 0)          /* Mask for EVENT bits */
| #define ARMV8_PMU_EVTYPE_TH    GENMASK_ULL(43, 32)     /* arm64 only */
| #define ARMV8_PMU_EVTYPE_TC    GENMASK_ULL(63, 61)     /* arm64 only */

IIUC that should silence this warning, and it'd remove the need for the
ifdeffery and other changes in patch 2.

Does that work, or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Mark.
