Ok, so it looks to me that what you're doing in your setup_aux with the
event, you should rather be doing in pmu::event_init(), which takes
event as a parameter and it even makes more sense semantically, because
that bit is really configuring the parameters of tracing and not
capturing, which setup_aux() is more about. And the above paragraph also
sounds very much like it. Since in Coresight there is a very clear
distinction between trace generation (sources) and capturing (sinks) it
should also be possible to structure the code in such a way that the
former are not as closely tied to the latter. Please correct me if I'm
missing something.
