And because you copied it from there without modification this becomes
automatically Copyrighted by Intel?

Yes, it does not look correct.

May I recommend that you talk to your legal departement about this.

Aside of that there is really no value in creating yet another file. The
code in question can simply wrapped into a large #ifdef PERF in the old
file.

Sure, I'll implement the change in this manner.

Thanks and BR,
