Overall the driver looks rather good. Thanks.

I think a raw lock would be only needed if the uncore was called
from the scheduler context switch, which it should not be.

So you can use a normal lock instead of a raw lock.

Can probably do some slack to be more friendly for power.

I'm not sure RCU is really needed here, are any of those paths
time critical? But ok shouldn't hurt either.

Needs a case? Always returns?

That's on_each_cpu()
