The ISB isn't necessary here, AFAICT. We only do this while the PMU is
disabled; no?

You're right. I was just following the ARM ARM.

Taking another look, it is not clear about the semantics of "pmu->enable()"
and pmu->disable() callbacks. I don't see any reference to them in the perf core
driver anymore. The perf core uses add() / del () instead, with the PMU
turned off. Do you have any idea about the enable()/disable() callbacks ?
Am I missing something ?
