Hmm, this seems... obtuse. Will the IMC stuff fail to compile on
non-powerNV? Can we just link it in like we do with every other sort of
performance counter and let runtime detection do its thing?

So I've probably missed a key point in the earlier patches, but for the
life of me I cannot figure out what idx is supposed to represent.

Also, idx is an int, so:
 - things will go wrong if idx is -1
 - things will go very wrong if idx is -2
 - do you need to do some sort of validation to make sure it's within
   bounds? If not in this function, what function ensures the necessary
   'sanity check' preconditions for idx?

Again, I may have missed something, but what's special about group 0?
Patch 1 lets you have up to 4 groups - are they used elsewhere?

I cannot figure out how this function sets cpu mask information or sets
up hotplug notifiers. Is this done in a later patch? (looking at the
subject lines - perhaps patch 6?)

Should this be marked __init, or can it be called in a hotplug path?

Why are these definitions being moved?
If they're still needed in this file, should the extern lines live in a
header file?
