Subject: [PATCH] perf mem/c2c: Fix perf_mem_events to support powerpc
Powerpc hw does not have inbuilt latency filter (--ldlat) for mem-load
event and, perf_mem_events by default includes ldlat=30 which is
causing failure on powerpc. Refactor code to support perf mem/c2c on
powerpc.
This patch depends on kernel side changes done my Madhavan:
