Subject: [PATCH 1/6] perf, x86: Making hardware events translations available in sysfs

Making hardware events translations available through the sysfs.
Adding 'events' group attribute under the sysfs x86 PMU record
with attribute/file for each hardware event:

  # ls  /sys/devices/cpu/events/
  branch-instructions
  branch-misses
  bus-cycles
  cache-misses
  cache-references
  cpu-cycles
  instructions
  ref-cycles
  stalled-cycles-backend
  stalled-cycles-frontend

The file - hw event ID mappings is:

  file                      hw event ID
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  cpu-cycles                PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES
  instructions              PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS
  cache-references          PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES
  cache-misses              PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MISSES
  branch-instructions       PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS
  branch-misses             PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_MISSES
  bus-cycles                PERF_COUNT_HW_BUS_CYCLES
  stalled-cycles-frontend   PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND
  stalled-cycles-backend    PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_BACKEND
  ref-cycles                PERF_COUNT_HW_REF_CPU_CYCLES

Each file in 'events' directory contains term translation for the
symbolic hw event for the currently running cpu model.

  # cat /sys/devices/cpu/events/stalled-cycles-backend
  event=0xb1,umask=0x01,inv,cmask=0x01
