Consider dropping the check against CCITMIN. There are CPUs where
CCITMIN is incorrect, e.g. see published errata 1490853 where the
value 0x100 should be 0b100 i.e. 4. On these ETMs it is possible to
set the timing threshold to four cycles instead of 256 cycles, providing
much better timing resolution. The kernel currently does not work
around this errata and uses the incorrect value of ccitmin. If you drop
the check, and trust the value provided by userspace, you allow
userspace to work around it.
