This is particularly used for +the OFFCORE_RESPONSE events on Intel Core i7. The 16bit +mask in the OFFCORE_RESPONSE register is put into bits [32;48]. +For example the OFFCORE_RESPONSE_0.ANY_DATA.ANY_CACHE_DRAM event +is encoded as r00007f11004301b7. + You should refer to the processor specific documentation for getting these details.
