This change looked fine.

However, I spent considerable time in figuring out the addition of
lpm_req_regs NULL check so it would be nice to mention it in the commit
message that since the caller's primary_pmc->lpm_req_regs check no longer
covers all pmcs, it has to checked within the loop. It's was far from
obvious whether it was a bugfix accidently mixed together with this patch
or required by this change itself but I managed to finally convince
myself it's the latter.

With that noted down for the benefit of the next unfortunate victim who
has to read this change from the git history, :-)
