I've had an off-list report that this series causes a kernel crash under
KVM unit tests (panic in write_pmevtypern()).

Given that I don't have enough information to repro/debug and Catalin is
tagging the arm64 branch for 6.11 today, I've dropped patches 6-12 for
now. Please can you send a fixed version after the merge window?

Cheers,

Will
