I tried applying the whole shebang and got:

⬢[acme@toolbox perf]$ git am ./20211202_adrian_hunter_x86_insn_add_instructions_to_instruction_decoder.mbx
Applying: perf tests: Add AMX instructions to x86 instruction decoder test

When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".
⬢[acme@toolbox perf]$

So since this needs rebasing, could you please split it into two
patchsets, one for tools/ and another for arch and send two batches?
This way I'll pick the tools/ one, the x86 maintainers the other bits.

Otherwise the x86 maintainers would have to test if the tools/ bits
works as expected, etc.
