Hi Stephane,

It came to my attention today that libpfm-3.9.tar.gz file available here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/perfmon2/files/libpfm/libpfm-3.9/libpfm-3.9.tar.gz/download

contains incorrect event codes for Power6.  The event code fixes were 
made upstream sometime back, but a newer libpfm-3.* release hasn't been 
cut since then.

Any chance you could cut a new tar.gz release, say 3.9.1 which includes 
the latest changes?

The event code discrepancy caused some sirens and flashing lights in my 
neck of the woods today, because we thought perhaps this problem existed 
in the distros as well (it didn't but we were quite concerned because 
the window for changes is closing soon).

There is no need to rush this, and is not a show-stopper by any means, 
but it would be nice to have those fixes in the shipping version of 
libpfm-3.9 just to keep the confusion level down a bit :-)

Thanks for your consideration,

- Corey
