I was thinking about this a little further. So you suggest that the 
metric expression contains PMU name per term, like 
"cpu_atom at instructions@ / cpu_atom at cycles@" - how would/could this work 
for PMUs with more complex naming, like the form hisi_siclXXX_cpa_YYY? 
Would we use the "Unit" expression for the metric name, like 
"@hisi_sicl,cpa at event_foo"?

Can that be added to the MAINTAINERS file? I suppose it is ok under 
"PERFORMANCE EVENTS SUBSYTEM", since the two would-be git repos listed 
under that same entry would be pretty obvious in purpose.

Cheers,
