What does your dmegs look like?

Mine read like:

[    0.012002] AMD Performance Monitoring support detected.
[    0.013002] ... num counters:    4
[    0.014001] ... value mask:      0000ffffffffffff
[    0.015001] ... fixed counters:  0
[    0.016001] ... counter mask:    000000000000000f

and its generating IRQs:

CNT:     168612     166040   Performance counter interrupts
