Updated the patch to address comments by Michael Ellerman. Specifically, changed upper limit in for loop to ARRAY_SIZE() macro and added a check to make sure the number of events specified by the user, which is used as the max for indexing various arrays, is no bigger then the declared size of the arrays.
The size of the pm_signal_local array should be equal to the number of SPUs being configured in the array. Currently, the array is of size 4 (NR_PHYS_CTRS) but being indexed by a for loop from 0 to 7 (NUM_SPUS_PER_NODE).
