Please can you add some documentation?

Can you use that fancy new __counted_by thing here?

I'm struggling to see what this is doing. Please can you explain it a
bit? For example, does the perf tool parse those "=?" entries, and why
is it useful to print out only the NI_PMU value for the other events?

This is pretty horrible to read :/

I don't know the details of this PMU, so is the count array saying that
you can have NI_NUM_COUNTERS events with the NI_PMU type, but only one
event of any other type?

oh man, they really don't have 64-bit registers on this thing? If we
have to loop like this, can we add a timeout just in case the hardware
goes wonky? It's like mixing together the worst parts of iopoll.h and
io-64-nonatomic-lo-hi.h.

There are a few other PMU drivers that look like they could share that
code if you added it as a generic helper.
