Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] perfevent: Add performance event structure definition
 and 'extevents' sysfs entry

This patch adds a structure that contains single hardware performance event
 definition (including name and description fields), and sysfs entry suited
to export machine-dependent list of events.
