Applied, but two questions:

1) Why didn't you have to deal with the overflow event

I saw the note. I need to understand why you wrote that. Relevant sections of the PRM for the T4 and the M7 have the same wording, so I was surprised to read that. Perhaps a h/w (or h/w revision) quirk?

It was not needed for the M7 -- bare metal or LDOM -- so I opted to go with the purist approach based on the PRM. As I get time and access to hardware I will take a look at the T4.


2) How simple is it to hook up a similar set of support
    for sparc-m6?  It seems like the only PMU type string
    we won't match after this.

Ditto. Time and H/W access.
