Subject: [PATCH V6 0/3] Adding support for address filters

This patch set makes it possible to use the current filter
framework with address filters.  That way address filters for
HW tracers such as CoreSight and IntelPT can be communicated
to the kernel drivers.

In this revision precursor work is done to make function
perf_evsel__append_filter() generic, along with changes to
current customers.  From there the work on address filters is
introduced.

Thanks,
Mathieu

Changes for V6:
 - Split work in 3 (small) patches.
 - Adding tracepoint and address filter append() functions

Changes for V5:
 - Modified perf_evsel__append_filter() to take a string format
   rather than an operation.

Changes for V4:
 - Added support for address filters over more than one
   nibble.
 - Removed Jiri's ack, this version is too different from
   what was reviewed.

Changes for V3:
 - Added Jiri's ack.
 - Rebased to v4.8-rc5.

Changes for V2:
 - Rebased to v4.8-rc4.
 - Revisited error path.
