Subject: [PATCH 1/6] perf, x86: Making hardware events tranlations sysfs available

Making hardware events tranlations available throught the sysfs.
Adding 'events' group attribute under the sysfs x86 PMU record
with attribute/file for each hardware event:

  # ls  /sys/devices/cpu/events/
  branch_instructions
  branch_misses
  bus_cycles
  cache_misses
  cache_references
  cycles
  instructions
  ref_cycles
  stalled_cycles_backend
  stalled_cycles_frontend

The file - ID mappings is:

  file                      hw id
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  cycles                    PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES
  instructions              PERF_COUNT_HW_INSTRUCTIONS
  cache_references          PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES
  cache_misses              PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_MISSES
  branch_instructions       PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS
  branch_misses             PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_MISSES
  bus_cycles                PERF_COUNT_HW_BUS_CYCLES
  stalled_cycles_frontend   PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_FRONTEND
  stalled_cycles_backend    PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_BACKEND
  ref_cycles                PERF_COUNT_HW_REF_CPU_CYCLES

Each attribute/file contains HW ID event translation for the currently
running CPU model

  # cat /sys/devices/cpu/events/instructions
  0xc0
