Thanks, 'xregs' is a good word. But considering current naming convention
in arch/x86/events/core.c, I would add the "x86_pmu" prefix

Do you know or can explain the purpose of that prefix on every function there? Is it for 'git grep x86_pmu'? But that's probably useful for those in a header file. Looks like just make it longer without good reason.
