Sorry for the delay -- it wasn't CCed to me and the subject line didn't
indicate that it was fsl related.

Why unlikely()?  None of the other perf drivers have that there.

Commit f53d168c does something similar for book3s.  It sets hw.state to
zero instead of clearing the flags.  Any reason why core-fsl-emb should
be different?
