In power7_marked_instr_event() there is a switch case that is missing
a break or an explicit fallthrough, it's not immediately clear which
it should be.

Just curious to know, how did you find this. Static code checker compiled
or any specific compiler warnings or just by code read?

Newer GCC warns about suspicious fallthroughs (-Wimplicit-fallthrough,
which is in -Wextra).
