Avoid pronouns, and state what the patch is doing, not what it _can_ do. IIUC:

Access PMU counters on AMD by directly indexing the array of general
purpose counters instead of translating the PMC index to an MSR index.
AMD only supports gp counters, there's no need to translate a PMC index
to an MSR index and back to a PMC index.
