These patches:

introduced magic constants and unexplained changes:

Peter Zijlstra has attempted to help out, to clean up the mess:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/28/543

But has not received helpful and constructive replies which makes
me doubt wether it can all be finished in time until v3.18 is
released.

Despite various review feedback the author (Andi Kleen) has answered
only few of the review questions and has generally been uncooperative,
only giving replies when prompted repeatedly, and only giving minimal
answers instead of constructively explaining and helping along the effort.

That kind of behavior is not acceptable.

There's also a boot crash on Intel E5-1630 v3 CPUs reported for another
commit from Andi Kleen:

  e735b9db12d7 ("perf/x86/intel/uncore: Add Haswell-EP uncore support")

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/10/22/730

Which is not yet resolved. The uncore driver is independent in theory,
but the crash makes me worry about how well all these patches were
tested and makes me uneasy about the level of interminging that the
Broadwell and Haswell code has received by the commits above.

As a first step to resolve the mess revert the Broadwell client commits
back to the v3.17 version, before we run out of time and problematic
code hits a stable upstream kernel.

( If the Haswell-EP crash is not resolved via a simple fix then we'll have
  to revert the Haswell-EP uncore driver as well. )

The Broadwell client series has to be submitted in a clean fashion, with
single, well documented changes per patch. If they are submitted in time
and are accepted during review then they can possibly go into v3.19 but
will need additional scrutiny due to the rocky history of this patch set.
