We will want to support multiple PMU devices in the near future but
this is currently blocked on userspace issues. One such device would
be the event counters on the PL310, which could be used to complement
the CPU PMU on the Cortex-A9.

I don't like the idea of a counter as it forces platforms to register
their devices in a specific order. Is it possible to separate different
types of PMU in the device tree and then have pmu.c work out what to do
with them?
