[PATCH 0/5] arm_pmu: fix lockdep issues with ACPI systems

Currently the arm_pmu ACPI code is somewhat dubious. It attempts ot
allocate memory any manpiulate IRQs in a hotplug callback, which is an
atomic context.
These patches (based on the arm64 for-next/core branch [1]) attempt to
address this by moving work out of hotplug callback, requiring a
reorganisation of the common arm_pmu code.
I've given these a boot-test on a Juno R1 system, both with DT and ACPI.
In either case the PMU works as expected, and lockdep seems happy.
I've pushed the series out to my arm64/acpi-pmu-lockdep branch [2].
Thanks,
Mark.
