+ * Broadwell:
+ *
+ * The INST_RETIRED.ALL period always needs to have lowest 6 bits cleared
+ * (BDM55) and it must not use a period smaller than 100 (BDM11). We combine
+ * the two to enforce a minimum period of 128 (the smallest value that has bits
+ * 0-5 cleared and >= 100).
+ *
+ * Because of how the code in x86_perf_event_set_period() works, the truncation
+ * of the lower 6 bits is 'harmless' as we'll occasionally add a longer period
+ * to make up for the 'lost' events due to carrying the 'error' in period_left.
+ *
+ * Therefore the effective (average) period matches the requested period,
+ * despite coarser hardware granularity.
