[Dave, Peter,

  Previous communcation shows that this patch may potentially have
  merge conflict with upcoming tip changes in the next merge window.

  Could you advise how this patch should proceed?

  Thanks!

Indeed, Peter how do you want to handle this?

I think Alexei suggested that we merge the one patch in two branches and
let git sort it out. I _think_ I've done something similar before and it
worked.

Sounds good, we did something like this in the past as well I recall,
so lets make first patch isolated to only touch perf event area so
it can go into both trees, and the remaining pieces only for BPF bits
for net-next.
