This patch seems to break building perf on ppc64.  It fails with:

+ make -j16 -C tools/perf -s V=1 WERROR=0 HAVE_CPLUS_DEMANGLE=1 prefix=/usr all

<snip>

builtin-kvm.c:25:21: fatal error: asm/svm.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [builtin-kvm.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

And that is indeed because arch/powerpc/include/asm/svm.h doesn't exist
(and therefore can't be exported like the first patch for x86 in this
series does).  You can find full build logs with this patch series
applied here: http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=781782

However, without some form of fix for the ../.. includes, perf still
fails to build on arches like ARM and powerpc with errors like this:

In file included from util/../perf.h:29:0,
                 from util/cache.h:7,
                 from util/quote.c:1:
util/../../../arch/powerpc/include/asm/unistd.h:12:29: fatal error:
uapi/asm/unistd.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [util/parse-events-test.o] Error 1

Full build logs here:
http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=781076

So.  Something else might need to be done to fix perf builds for non-x86
arches.
