Ho hum. The perfctr syscall API has changed so many times that whenever someone adds a syscall I have rejects to fix up in probably ten different patches. It would be nice to start folding these patches together a bit to reduce such problems, but that's rather non-trivial because there is no way to simply join these patches together which maintains a sensible sequencing. If we're going to do anything then it's either a major refactoring, or simply wham the entire feature into a single diff. That diff could then be split into four patches: core, ppc, x86 and x86_64. We would lose the layering between ye olde perfctr, the inheritance implementation, the syfs API, etc. I could live with that.
