Subject: [PATCH 01/10] perf, amd: Rework northbridge event constraints handler

This is in preparation of family 15h northbridge event implementation.
Current code relies on continuous northbridge counter masks with no
holes. In family 15h northbridge counters are separate from other
counters and thus only a subset of all generic counters. This patch
changes the code so that it can later work with counter masks.

No functional changes.
