I couldn't come up with a case where it would be a benefit to us. We
roll out PMU support for a new CPU early so that the kernel and tools
support it when we GA. On the other hand adding opro

HAVE_PERF_EVENTS_NMI is used for two things - the oprofile NMI timer
and the hard lockup detector.
Create HAVE_OPROFILE_NMI_TIMER so an architecture can select them
separately. On ppc64 we want to add the hard lockup detector, but not
the oprofile NMI timer fallback.

HAVE_PERF_EVENTS_NMI is used for two things - the oprofile NMI timer
and the hardlockup detector.
Create HAVE_OPROFILE_NMI_TIMER so an architecture can select them
separately. On ppc64 we want to add the hardlockup detector, but not
the oprofile NMI timer fallback.
