so just curious, after all this time why are we suddenly making 
modularizable perf pmu drivers?

Will other pmus be modularized, or is the uncore a special case?

I'm not necessarily against the idea, it's just it's tricky enough as it 
is trying to help people with uncore pmu issues and now I will have to add 
"make sure the relevant kernel module is loaded" to the list of things 
that could be going wrong.
