** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  perf support for the ARMv8.2 Statistical Profiling Extension does not work on 
ACPI platforms.

  d24a0c7099b32 arm_pmu: acpi: spe: Add initial MADT/SPE probing

+ The functional changes are all ARM specific (while ACPI PPTT is generic, it 
is only enabled under arch/arm64 currently). There are new macros and an 
updated structure in generic code, but all pretty innocuous.
