pmu-events.c depends only on JSON files relevant to the arch perf is
being built on and there could be several JSON files per arch. So it
would complicate the Makefiles.

Besides, didn't we conclude that the cost of generating pmu-events.c
during build is negligible ?

I will try this out, but why not just add pmu-events.o to libperf?
