5d7107c72796 ("perf: CXL Performance Monitoring Unit driver")
added the config entries for CXL_PMU in drivers/cxl/Kconfig and
drivers/perf/Kconfig, so it can be toggled from multiple locations:
[1] Device Drivers
-> PCI support
-> CXL (Compute Expres Link) Devices
-> CXL Performance Monitoring Unit
[2] Device Drivers
-> Performance monitor support
-> CXL Performance Monitoring Unit
This complicates things, and nobody else does this.
I kept the one in drivers/perf/Kconfig because CONFIG_CXL_PMU controls
the compilation of drivers/perf/cxl_pmu.c.

If unsure, or if this kernel is meant for production environments,
say N.

- Support performance monitoring as defined in CXL rev 3.0
- section 13.2: Performance Monitoring. CXL components may have
- one or more CXL Performance Monitoring Units (CPMUs).

- Say 'y/m' to enable a driver that will attach to performance
- monitoring units and provide standard perf based interfaces.
