I asked and it sounds like we are treating all events as potentially
insecure until they've been reviewed. If Intel were to publish
official (reasonably substantiated) guidance stating that the PMU is
secure, then I think we'd be happy without such a safeguard in place,
but short of that I think we want to err on the side of caution.
