Right, but in effect Andi adds two pieces of infrastructure, 

 - extra_reg, which determines if a particular cntr value needs extra
   data, this is useful for both the offcore msr and the pebs-ll msr.

 - per-core constraints, which is useful for shared msrs like the
   offcore and lbr config things.

So while his current patch set only uses either piece once -- to provide
offcore support -- both pieces have in fact at least one more potential
user (for future patches).
