I'm not entirely thrilled to expose it to the PMU like this.. I realize
you want this in order to get physically contiguous pages.

Are you aware of allocation constraints for other architectures?

Ideally the patch introducing this would also introduce code to generate
these records.

That appears to be missing a is_power_of_2(aux_size) check.

The problem with not having that is that since
perf_event_mmap_page::aux_{head,tail} are of Z mod 2^64 but your actual
{head,tail} are of Z mod aux_size, you need aux_size to be a full
divider of 2^64 or otherwise you get wrapping issues at the overflow.

Having it them all 2^n makes the divider trivial.
