> I prefer cutting this down to be arm-specific and "trade the spec file
complexity", since I see no reason for x86 (and other arch) customers (which I
believe is a majority) to install completely useless packages.

This is valid. I wasn't thinking about the dep on install, only the build
side. As I didn't make the original change in Fedora, I was just verifying
that we had this functionality and saw how it was put in.

> A better question is, whether linking opencsd would allow the x86 users to
e.g. analyse the coresight trace from perf.data obtained on aarch64. In such
case, it would make sense.

I would have to look at the code to see, or Fedora has been built this way for
about a year, so any existing Fedora perf package should be a valid way to
test.
