Subject: [PATCH 1/9] perf x86: Add precise sysfs cpu pmu attribute

Adding sysfs 'precise' attribute for cpu device
(/sys/devices/cpu/precise) to show the maximum
value for perf event precise_ip attribute.

This will be used to put proper precise_ip when
configuring an event and and to automatically test
precise stuff to some extend.
