Yes I found lots of examples like this across the tree whilst doing this
work. However I decided to initially start with simply removing duplicated
code as a result of adding this flag and attempting to preserve existing
functionality. I thought that if I add missing checks then the patchset
will get much bigger and be harder to merge. I would like to do this though
as another non-cross-arch series.

Can we limit this patch series to the minimal changes required to fully
use PERF_PMU_CAP_NO_EXCLUDE and then attempt to fix these existing problems
in subsequent patch sets?

Ok, but it would've been nice to see that mentioned somewhere.

I'll update the cover leter on any next revision. I'll try to be clearer next
time with my intentions.
