+ * IBS states:
+ *
+ * ENABLED; tracks the pmu::add(), pmu::del() state, when set the counter is taken
+ * and any further add()s must fail.
+ *
+ * STARTED/STOPPING/STOPPED; deal with pmu::start(), pmu::stop() state but are
+ * complicated by the fact that the IBS hardware can send late NMIs (ie. after
+ * we've cleared the EN bit).
+ *
+ * In order to consume these late NMIs we have the STOPPED state, any NMI that
+ * happens after we've cleared the EN state will clear this bit and report the
+ * NMI handled (this is fundamentally racy in the face or multiple NMI sources,
+ * someone else can consume our BIT and our NMI will go unhandled).
+ *
+ * And since we cannot set/clear this separate bit together with the EN bit,
+ * there are races; if we cleared STARTED early, an NMI could land in
+ * between clearing STARTED and clearing the EN bit (in fact multiple NMIs
+ * could happen if the period is small enough), and consume our STOPPED bit
+ * and trigger streams of unhandled NMIs.
+ *
+ * If, however, we clear STARTED late, an NMI can hit between clearing the
+ * EN bit and clearing STARTED, still see STARTED set and process the event.
+ * If this event will have the VALID bit clear, we bail properly, but this
+ * is not a given. With VALID set we can end up calling pmu::stop() again
+ * (the throttle logic) and trigger the WARNs in there.
+ *
+ * So what we do is set STOPPING before clearing EN to avoid the pmu::stop()
+ * nesting, and clear STARTED late, so that we have a well defined state over
+ * the clearing of the EN bit.
+ *
+ * XXX: we could probably be using !atomic bitops for all this.
