Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 1/6] perf vendor events arm64: Add topdown L1 metrics for neoverse-n2

The calculation formula of topdown L1 is from the document:
https://documentation-service.arm.com/static/60250c7395978b529036da86?token=

However, due to the wrong count of stall_slot and stall_slot_frontend
in neoverse-n2, the real stall_slot and real stall_slot_frontend need
to subtract cpu_cycles, so when calculating the topdownL1 metrics,
stall_slot and stall_slot_frontend are corrected.

Since neoverse-n2 does not yet support topdown L2, metricgroups such
as Cache, TLB, Branch, InstructionsMix, and PEutilization will be
added to further analysis of performance bottlenecks in the following
patches.
