This CPU has just too many handycaps to be really useful.

* PEBS is unreliable due to:

* AJ68 - PEBS PMI may be delayed by one event
* AJ69 - GLOBAL_STATUS[62] will only be set when DEBUGCTL[12]
* AJ106 - FREEZE_LBRS_ON_PMI doesn't work in combination with PEBS
*
* AJ67 could be worked around by restricting the OS/USR flags.
* AJ69 could be worked around by setting PMU_FREEZE_ON_PMI.
*
* AJ106 could possibly be worked around by not allowing LBR
* usage from PEBS, including the fixup.
* AJ68 could possibly be worked around by always programming
* a pebs_event_reset[0] value and coping with the lost events.
*
* But taken together it might just make sense to not enable PEBS on
* these chips.
