It should work. There's nothing special for uncore later, this
is just for convenience so that I have less to type.

It would warn a lot because most PMUs don't have a given aliases.
So you would get an warning for every extra PMU.

Trying to warn only for those that have the alias would need a lot
of extra tracking, and it didn't seem worth the complexity.
