Adrian, there are at least two obvious bugs there:

 - aux_action was key's off of PERF_PMU_CAP_AUX_OUTPUT, which is not
   right, that's the capability where events can output to AUX -- aka.
   PEBS-to-PT. It should be PERF_PMU_CAP_ITRACE, which is the
   PT/CoreSight thing.

 - it sets aux_paused unconditionally, which is scribbling in the giant
   union which is overwriting state set by perf_init_event().

But I think there's more problems, we need to do the aux_action
validation after perf_get_aux_event(), we can't know if having those
bits set makes sense before that. This means the perf_event_alloc() site
is wrong in the first place.

I'm going to drop these patches for now. Please rework.
