Subject: Tie lose "perf, tools" ends in Haswell PMU patchkit

This fixes some left over issues in my Haswell PMU patchkit yesterday:
Ideally applied on top, although there should be no direct dependencies.

- Now the kernel supplied sysfs aliases can be directly used for cpu.
This means I can use "tx-aborts" instead of "cpu/tx-aborts/
- List the kernel events
- Support using the same names as generic events for kernel events.
This allows to use cpu/instructions,intx=1/ which was not possible
before because instructions clashed with the generic name.
