So at this point we've registered the PMU with perf, so I think we're open
to userspace. Given that things like pmu_cpumask_attr_show() call
cpumask_of(cci_pmu->cpu), having a cpu of -1 seems like a bad idea.

Why not just use the _cpuslocked() notifier registration functions so that
we don't need to disable preemption?
