You really need more than this to share an interrupt between multiple 
PMUs correctly. Perf relies on IRQs being handled on event->cpu to 
provide mutual exclusion - if another PMU comes along and moves the 
interrupt affinity to a different CPU, the interrupt handler may update 
the event state from that CPU simultaneously with a regular API call on 
event->cpu also updating it, with potential corruption as a result.

For general solutions, one option is to add a layer of explicit 
interrupt management like arm_dmc620_pmu (FWIW the original idea there 
was to factor that out into common helpers anyway). It's possible that 
IRQ affinity notifiers might work as an alternative approach too, but I 
never got round to looking into that in detail.

Thanks,
Robin.
