I had a quick look at this, and it mostly looks alright to me. Just a few
high-level comments/questions:

  - I would still prefer for the PMU drivers to live under drivers/perf/

  - You should probably give the PMU a better name than "fme%d", for example
    "intel_fpga_dfl_fme%d".

  - CPU0 can be hotplugged off on non-x86 systems. How do you cope with
    that?

  - readq() will emit 2x32-bit reads on some architectures. What happens
    in this case?
