Subject: [PATCH 14/22] perf pmu: Add override support for event list CPUID

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

Add a PERF_CPUID variable to override the CPUID of the current CPU
(within the current architecture). This is useful for testing, so that
all event lists can be tested on a single system.
