Model 15, see intel_pmu_init(). But you're actually running on a Penryn
I suspect, since we disabled PEBS for Merom.

There's also a bunch of Atoms that uses PEBS format 0, no idea if
they're affected too.

At the very least this wants a comment along the lines of:

			/*
			 * Using >PAGE_SIZE buffers makes the WRMSR to
			 * PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL in intel_pmu_enable_all()
			 * mysteriously hang on Core2.
			 *
			 * As a workaround, we don't do this.
