Hi Vince,

Thanks for the update.  Just want to ensure that this patch does eventually get 
into papi. It would help with the various linux distributions.  The patch 
removes one of the ways that things may get broken. The environments that papi 
is built in for various distributions that use unbundled libpfm (RHEL and 
Fedora for example) and may not have the most recent libpfm installed.  
Eliminating the use the PFM_PMU_MAX in papi would avoid this problem where papi 
and the libpfm currently installed on the machine support the newer pmu 
hardware, but the system won't use it because the build was done with the older 
libpfm.
