This patch FAILs to compile independently because of the function
'intel_pmu_setup_lbr_filter' which is defined arch/x86/kernel/
cpu/perf_event_intel_lbr.c but used in arch/x86/kernel/cpu
/perf_event_intel.c without making the prototype update in
the header arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.h. Though [PATCH 8/13]
rectifies the problem, [PATCH 7/13] fails to compile independently.
