I have a series of patches to add CCI-500 PMU, targeting 4.2, which 
changes the used_mask to a pointer and changes it to depend on the 
number of counters available on the CCI PMU.  I will post it in very 
soon here, which could make this patch obsolete. Let me know if you 
don't mind getting this sorted out through my series. I am fine either way.
