Subject: [PATCH 5/9] perf: Add sysfs format attribute for pmu device

Adding 'format' attribute for pmu device that contains
a syntax description on how to construct raw events.

The event configuration is described in following
struct pefr_event_attr attributes:

  config
  config1
  config2

Each line of the format file describes mapping of name
and bitfield definition within one of abve attributes.

eg:
  event   config:0-7
  umask   config:8-15
  usr     config:16
  os      config:17
  edge    config:18
  any     config:21
  inv     config:23
  cmask   config:24-31

Line syntax:
  line:      NAME config ':' bits
  config:    'config' | 'config1' | 'config2"
  bits:      bits ',' bit_term | bit_term
  bit_term:  VALUE '-' VALUE | VALUE

Adding event_format callback to the struct pmu, which provides
the format information. The pmu shall override this function
and provide its own specific format information.

If not overloaded the default format information is used:

  config  config:0-63
  config1 config1:0-63
  config2 config2:0-63
