Nice patch!

I noticed a couple of small details:

Nit: I think these fields have all similar lengths so they should be 
vertically aligned, something like:

 EVENT_ATTR_STR(energy-cores, rapl_cores, "event=0x01");
 EVENT_ATTR_STR(energy-pkg  , rapl_pkg  , "event=0x02");
 EVENT_ATTR_STR(energy-ram  , rapl_ram  , "event=0x03");
 EVENT_ATTR_STR(energy-gfx  , rapl_gfx  , "event=0x04");

 EVENT_ATTR_STR(energy-cores.unit, rapl_cores_unit, "Joules");
 EVENT_ATTR_STR(energy-pkg.unit  , rapl_pkg_unit  , "Joules");
 EVENT_ATTR_STR(energy-ram.unit  , rapl_ram_unit  , "Joules");
 EVENT_ATTR_STR(energy-gfx.unit  , rapl_gfx_unit  , "Joules");

Also, instead of 'gfx', shouldn't it be 'gpu' throughout the patch?

Thanks,

	Ingo
