Please explain about this IOMMU crud, this looks like fail.
hwc->idx should be the counter, not a random pmu index.

Ok, I thought this was not used by the code, so I used it for
holding PMU index. This might not be a good idea.
I will change this part per Boris comment in the reply of this
thread.

But instead it looks like you get the counter form:

#define _GET_CNTR(ev) ((u8)(ev->hw.extra_reg.reg))

Which is absolutely insane.


So, the IOMMU counters are grouped into bank, and there could be
many banks. I use the extra_reg.reg to hold the bank and counter
indices. This will be used to program onto the counter configuration
register. This is handled in get_next_avail_iommu_bnk_cntr() and
clear_avail_iommu_bnk_cntr().

Thanks,
