ah, indeed - the rename:

4aeb0b4: perfcounters: rename struct hw_perf_counter_ops into struct pmu

changed context lines in your patch causing the fuzz. The mechanic
rename changed quite a bit of stuff in the powerpc driver - we were
lucky that your rather large patch still merged cleanly.

Btw, if in the future such renames cause problems for any pending
patch of yours we can always pick up your patches first and then
re-do the rename.
