My plan for the armpmu reservation is to kill the global reservation scheme
that we currently have and push those function pointers into the arm_pmu,
so that fits with what you'd like.

The only concern I have is that we need the mutual exclusion even when we
don't have support for runtime PM. If we can solve that then I'm fine with
the approach.

Cheers,

Will
