Subject: [PATCH 1/1] perf tools: Add missing user space support for config1/config2

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

The offcore_msr perf kernel code was merged into 2.6.39-rc*, but the
user space bits were not. This made it impossible to set the extra mask
and actually do the OFFCORE profiling

This patch fixes this. It adds a new syntax ':' to raw events to specify
additional event masks. I also added support for setting config2, even
though that is not needed currently.

[Note: the original version back in time used , -- but that actually
conflicted with event lists, so now it's :]
