you're right, I have following cpus file in pmu:

  # cat /sys/devices/armv8_pmuv3_0/cpus 
  0-3

covering all the cpus.. and once you have cpumask/cpus file,
you're system wide by default in current code, but we should
not crash ;-)

I tried to cover this case in patch below and I probably broke
some other use cases, but perhaps we could allow to open counters
per cpus for given workload

I'll try to look at this more tomorrow
