So this changes UAPI visible symbols... did we think about that?

Also, what happens if we run a 32bit kernel or 32bit compat task?

Then the register dump will report PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_32, should we
then still interpret the XMM registers as 2x64bit?

Are they still at the same offset?

Do we need additional PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_ABI_* definitions for this?
