Patch does a bit more than this. This can be expanded to:

	Add a new PERF_PKG resource and introduce package level scope for monitoring
	these events so that CPU hotplug notifiers can build domains at the package
	granularity.

	Use the physical package ID available via topology_physical_package_id()
	to identify the monitoring domains with package level scope. This enables
	user space to use /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/physical_package_id
	to identify the monitoring domain a CPU is associated with.

(Please always feel free to improve.)

Patch looks good to me.
