[V6 06/11] powerpc, perf: Re-arrange PMU based branch filter processing in POWER8

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Wed May 21 2014 - 06:02:33 EST


This patch does some code re-arrangements to make it clear that
it ignores any separate privilege level branch filter request
and does not support any combinations of HW PMU branch filters.
