The sane thing to do is to split -mm's perfctr-ppc.patch so that
the new symbolic constants can go into -linus w/o having to drag
in the experimental perfctr stuff from -mm.

This wasn't an issue before because the -linus kernel didn't
acquire any use of PMXE until very recently.

ah, so that's what happened.

I'll tweak perfctr-ppc.patch for now.

My patch was against the -mm series, as reported in
the original subject.

In the -mm series, the perfctr-ppc.patch already
defines that symbol. As that patch contains all the
perfctr related bits, it made sense to remove the
definition coming from the Linus tree and keep the
definition from the perfctr-ppc.patch. But just on
-mm.

Cheers,
Albert

The macro was duplicated in -mm1.
I sent a patch against -mm1
The patch went upstream without the perfctr-ppc.patch, which contained
the macro define in regs.h.

So a bit of confusion came up
