Hi Qi

Thanks for the changes. Mostly looks good to me, except for the
name of the call back.

The set_commit is too hisilicon specific :-). Could we please rename
this to soemthing more generic. The callback for hisilicon etms, could still
be xx_commit". May be simply call it

	callback() ?

or may be even
	arch_callback() ?

nit: This need not be part of the header file, as it is not used
outside the etm4x-core.c
