Similar check needed in intel_pmu_init() as well? Also, i'd suggest to
name it pmu_check_apic() or so - and why call it in the middle of of the
PMU init functions? All PMU drivers are APIC based, so this call can be
done right after:

if (err != 0) {
pr_cont("no PMU driver, software events only.\n");
return;
}

pmu_check_apic();

in a single place. Also, no need to pass in &x86_pmu - we have a single
PMU driver.

Thanks,

Ingo
