It's maintained by:

 PERFORMANCE EVENTS SUBSYSTEM
 M:      Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
 M:      Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
 M:      Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
 S:      Supported

We should add 'F:' file patterns to that entry i guess ...

Something like:

F:	kernel/perf_event.c
F:	include/linux/perf_event.h
F:	arch/*/*/kernel/perf_event.c
F:	arch/*/include/asm/perf_event.h
F:	tools/perf/

Would do the trick. Mind sending a patch for that too?

Submitting it to lkml was fine enough - please Cc: it to us in the 
future to make sure we dont miss it.

Applied, thanks for the patch!
