/*
 * This file implements the perfmon-2 subsystem which is used
 * to program the IA-64 Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU).
 *
 * The initial version of perfmon.c was written by
 * Ganesh Venkitachalam, IBM Corp.
 *
 * Then it was modified for perfmon-1.x by Stephane Eranian and
 * David Mosberger, Hewlett Packard Co.
 *
 * Version Perfmon-2.x is a rewrite of perfmon-1.x
 * by Stephane Eranian, Hewlett Packard Co.
