Subject: [PATCH v3 5/7] perf tools: Use ioctl to communicate driver configuration to kernel

Following in the footsteps of what was done for filters, adding the
necessary mechanic needed to push down driver specific configuration
to the kernel using an ioctl. By proceeding this way PMU specific
configuration such as CoreSight sink specification can be communicated
to each event.
