Just pmcc, or a pmcc-like high-level API (provides a fetch loop, metadata
caching, options handling assistance, configuration file handling someday
and so on).

pmsubsys is completely separate (has only one remaining user in-tree, and
there's some unfixable assumptions in there esp. relating to interrupts
metric handling, for example).  pmsubsys is a handy example of how APIs
can be very difficult to transition away from.

cheers.
