With discrete graphics system can have both integrated and discrete GPU
handled by i915.

Currently we use a fixed name ("i915") when registering as the uncore PMU
provider which stops working in this case.

Add an unique instance number in form of "i915-<instance>" to each
registered PMU to support this. First instance keeps the old name to
preserve compatibility with existing userspace.

One problem is how to tie cars and PMUs.

Should we append something better than the opaque instance (which
depends on probing order)? Like some bus slot id? But then we have to
say goodbye to preserving the "legacy" name "i915".

I couldn't find that perf supports anything for these scenarios.

Or maybe we can add a new file (sysfs?), which would be correctly under
the bus hierarchy, and would export the name of the PMU instance to
use?

We definitely need to add some means of uniquely identifying i915 into
sysfs, and for us to link from bus/pci/devices/ It seems odd that this
is not a solved problem :| (Which means I've probably missed how it is
meant to be done.)

Storing a pmu-name inside sysfs seems reasonable, and postpones the
problem of persistent device names for i915 until later :)
(Fwiw, how about using i915-${pci_addr}, or even just ${pci_addr}? I
expect that perf will grow multiple lookup paths if more hotpluggable
devices start supporting perf eventss)

Iirc, the name is basically only used to construct the perf sysfs, and
the tools extract the event names and tags from the sysfs. So I wonder
if we could add a symlink...

I don't think there is the "how it is meant to be done" part. For 
instance even unplug/unload is not handled by the core. Which reminds me 
that I wanted to add a module_get/put somewhere in i915_pmu.c to at 
least same myself from doing i915_reload with intel_gpu_top in another 
window.. :)

Yes pci address looks like a good candidate, but how important is legacy 
compatibility? Becuase I don't think we have ability to add a symlink at 
/sys/devices/i915 -> /sys/devices/i915-${pci}. Can we break 
intel_gpu_top or other tools which are only looking at 
/sys/devices/i915/events?

Oh ok symlinks are here.. yeah, I thought we can't. Can we?
