It took me a while to understand that per_cpu_add is an array and not a new
fangled per cpu function which adds something to a per cpu variable. 

So why is that storing the address as u64?

And why is this a NR_CPUS sized array instead of a regular per cpu variable?

So if that allocation fails then you happily proceed. Optmistic
programming, right?

Ah, it's stored as u64 because you have to convert it back to a void
pointer at the place where it is actually used. Interesting approach.

Just a general observation. If anything in init_imc_pmu() fails, then all
the hotplug callbacks are staying registered, at least I haven't seen
anything undoing it.
