Looks like you're moving this to arm_pmu.h as well. Probably a better
home for it, but unclear why it is done in this patch.

Are we going to need this struct any more since it now has a single
member?

Why do you need this declaration? I don't see the percpu data being
accessed outside of pmu.c.

Why not make this function visible in patch 1? It seems benign even
though there are no other users at that moment outside of the
compilation unit.
