Subject: [PATCH 4/5] perf, x86: Add INST_RETIRED.ALL workarounds

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

On Broadwell INST_RETIRED.ALL cannot be used with any period
that doesn't have the lowest 6 bits cleared. And the period
should not be smaller than 128.

Add a new callback to enforce this, and set it for Broadwell.

This is erratum BDM57 and BDM11.

v2: Use correct event name in description. Use EVENT() macro.
