At some point you had signed off on it, but then Stephane found another issue which was fixed with an follow-on patch. It would be good if that could be merged this cycle too, as that would make the Skylake core perf support complete. The new frontend profiling support is very useful to identify frontend bound issues. I'm resending the two patches here. -Andi
