Hi Chen,

I went and checked with people in the community, and I can confirm that
perfmon2 is deprecated for everything but ia64. Since KVM/ia64 is pretty
stale and I doubt it even works, I would not recommend for pushing
perfmon2 tests into autotest at this point.

As for how to see it, then I don't think there really is a way except
for looking at the code.

Cheers,
Jes
