You should rename pfm_intr_handler to smp_pmu_interrupt (yes, it's not
really SMP but other functions have that problem too, e.g.
smp_error_interrupt) and make it fastcall, then you can do:

BUILD_INTERRUPT(pmu_interrupt, LOCAL_PERFMON_VECTOR)

instead of open-coding it.  Then the Xen patch that extends the interrupt
vector range won't have to change to accommodate your patch.

You should also probably move the BUILD_INTERRUPT() into entry_arch.h
with the rest of them.
