Hi Kan,
   Sorry I went for vacation so couldn't update. Yes this fix works. But
we have another issue, actually this patch set changes uses ldlat
attribute. But ldlat is not supported in powerpc because of which perf
mem is failing in powerpc.

I am looking into a work around to fix this issue. I will update the fix.

Thanks,
Kajol Jain
