Subject: [RFC/PATCH] perf x86: Add off-core event constraints for Sandy/IvyBridge micro architecture

hi,
I was looking at the offcore stuff and it looks like we might
be missing some constraints for offcore response events on
Sandy/IvyBridge.

The table 18.8.5 (Off-core Response Performance Monitoring)
in Intel SDM states PMC0 for 0xb7 and PMC3 for 0xbb, but
there's no other explanation or related description.

I can't say/ack if the counters looks bad or right with or
without the patch so far.. so just curious ;-)

thanks,
jirka

The Intel SDM (18.8.5 Off-core Response Performance Monitoring)
states the off-core events MSR_OFFCORE_RSP_0/MSR_OFFCORE_RSP_03
to be defined only for PMC0/PMC3 respectively.  

Adding related constraints.
