Need to be a little more specific on the problem in the change log. I'm
guessing that the issue is with the events_group define in
perf_event_intel_uncore.h:

#define events_group attr_groups[2]

I can see that causing issues with something like:

struct attribute_group *events_group;

I don't think we really want that to end up being:

struct attribute_group *attr_groups[2];

I'm surprised gcc allowed that :-/
