Below there is an updated version of my recent patch submission of

 [PATCH 5/5] perf, x86: Add support for AMD family 15h core counters

It now generates the msr offset by shifting the index. I wrote the
code so that it can easily be replaced with a faster ALTERNATIVE()
version that uses binary patching. Thus, I have introduced and used
cpu feature flags for it.

I will work on an ALTERNATIVE() version, but wont be able for ig
before mid of March because I will be travelling the next weeks.
