+====================================
+Arm Network-on Chip Interconnect PMU
+====================================
+
+NI-700 and friends implement a distinct PMU for each clock domain within the
+interconnect. Correspondingly, the driver exposes multiple PMU devices named
+arm_ni_<x>_cd_<y>, where <x> is an (arbitrary) instance identifier and <y> is
+the clock domain ID within that particular instance. If multiple NI instances
+exist within a system, the PMU devices can be correlated with the underlying
+hardware instance via sysfs parentage.
+
+Each PMU exposes base event aliases for the interface types present in its clock
+domain. These require qualifying with the "eventid" and "nodeid" parameters
+to specify the event code to count and the interface at which to count it
+(per the configured hardware ID as reflected in the xxNI_NODE_INFO register).
+The exception is the "cycles" alias for the PMU cycle counter, which is encoded
+with the PMU node type and needs no further qualification.

Each lane has the same event set and to avoid generating a list of hundreds

The driver does not support sampling, therefore "perf record" will not
work. Per-task (without "-a") perf sessions are not supported.
