Before trace can be collected the PMU needs to get a handle
on the mmpap'ed memory that was granted.  Since the collection
of traces can be done by sink buffers of various types,
representation of the memory layout is done at the sink level
rather than the tracer PMU driver.

Is it guaranteed that this sink would always have .setup_aux()?

A setup_aux() is vital to the design, both on Intel and ARM.  I really
don't see how one could go without it.  I can return NULL if it hasn't
been provided - that way the setup will fail without triggering a core
dump.

It wasn't clear to me that the sink that ends up in csdev_sink will
always be the one that does have .setup_aux(). And if it indeed doesn't,
it's better to refuse to setup a buffer than crash.
