Right, so I realize it has a new buffer, but why do you need to make it
all complicated like this?
Just leave the existing stuff and stick the new arch pebs buffer
somewhere new. All that reserve nonsense shouldn't be needed anymore.
Just add it to the intel_pmu_cpu_{prepare,starting,dying,dead} things.
