I thought that initially, but we need SMP up and running for the cross
calls. Since read_num_pmnc_events is called via an early_initcall, that's
not possible (which is the reason I used an arch_initcall in the first place).

The solution I've come up with is adding a ->reset function pointer to
struct arm_pmu, which can be called via an arch_initcall in perf_event.c
for the PMU it ends up using. I'll post it in a bit.
