Why is this the case? If you were to configure the event in pmu::add()
and deconfigure it in pmu::del(), like you already do with the buffer
part, you could handle as many sessions as you want.

This can be done in pmu::add(), if you can call directly into
etm_configure_cpu() or etm_config_enable() so that there's no cross-cpu
calling in between.

One general comment -- it would be slightly easier at least for me if
all the pmu related bits were in one patch.
