That doesn't answe the question. Please could you confirm the value of 
ID_AA64DFR0_EL1 on your system ?

Or, are you able to try this on your ACPI based system and see if you 
are able to use the etm ? (UNTESTED hack !)

I would recommend to make this mask stricter and apply this to the 
current implementation. When there are more, we could add this here, 
rather than having to leave this work around for all the possible cores.

With the "proposed" ACPI support for system register, AMBA would not be
involved at all.

Yes, but this was never updated to cover the system register based 
implementations. I will chase this up.
