This is a bit messier than I would have liked mainly because it dumps
a bunch of ifdefery into a C file contrary to coding style, "Wherever
possible, don't use preprocessor conditionals (#if, #ifdef) in .c
files". I would expect this all to move to an organization like:
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/papr_scm/main.c
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/papr_scm/perf.c
...and a new config symbol like:
config PAPR_SCM_PERF
depends on PAPR_SCM && PERF_EVENTS
def_bool y
...with wrappers in header files to make everything compile away
without any need for main.c to carry an ifdef.
Can you turn a patch like that in the next couple days? Otherwise, I
think if Linus saw me sending a late breaking compile fix that threw
coding style out the window he'd have cause to just drop the pull
request entirely.
