Thanks for the diff. I cannot get this right for some reason. I will
probably send the diff before the final series.

It is already there. Is that not clear?

+        Following are the types of events supported:
+
+        ====    ========================================================
+        Bits    Description
+        ====    ========================================================
+        6       Dirty Victims from the QOS domain to all types of memory
+        5       Reads to slow memory in the non-local NUMA domain
+        4       Reads to slow memory in the local NUMA domain
+        3       Non-temporal writes to non-local NUMA domain
+        2       Non-temporal writes to local NUMA domain
+        1       Reads to memory in the non-local NUMA domain
+        0       Reads to memory in the local NUMA domain
+        ====    ========================================================

b/w is bandwidth. I will correct it.
