ok, thanks for the explanation of both:

I think it would be helpful, especially for the review, to have a
one-line comment on the struct definition, along the lines of:


struct kvm_pmc {
	u8 idx;		/* index into the pmu->pmc array */
	u64 eventsel;	/* perf event number, see ARMV8_EVTYPE_EVENT */
	...
};

Thanks,
