Hey Atish,

I almost marked this as "not applicable" in patchwork as I was mislead
by the $subject. I know our perf driver is a real mixed bag, but should
it not be something more like:
"perf: RISC-V: Improve privilege mode filtering for KVM"?
It was only when I noticed that the rest of the series had been marked
as "Handled Elsewhere" that I realised that this must not be a KVM patch
;)

Thanks,
Conor
