Yeah, as the PMU drivers grew organically the naming scheme became a bit messy:

- for example the uncore drivers are under kernel/cpu/, although they are not
bound to CPUs.

- separation between various vendor drivers is not always chrystal clear.

- the 'kernel/' subdirectory is a needless anachronism, we try to move bits out
of it when the opportunity presents itself.

- the new naming also better follows the core kernel/events/ perf code.

I presume after this round of patches is in, Boris will send another round to
reorganize the Intel PMU drivers as well.

It seems to work reasonably well here:

see for example how Git still knows that we had a
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_counter.c initial file name.

Or how you did an optimization in c48b60538c3ba when the file was already named
cpu/perf_event.c! :-)

Thanks,
