On ARCH_BRCMSTB using 32-bit and 64-bit ARM kernels:

Tested-by: Florian Fainelli <florian.fainelli@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

perf for MIPS fails, largely due because it assumes newer toolchain 
kernel headers than what I am building with, which we hit with the 
following build error:

trace/beauty/fcntl.c: In function 'syscall_arg__scnprintf_fcntl_arg':
trace/beauty/fcntl.c:96:13: error: 'F_GET_RW_HINT' undeclared (first use 
in this function); did you mean 'F_GETOWN'?

I will submit a fix upstream for this.
