Actually, my original intention was to check if the filters are being
applied to generic PMCs and the cycle counter, irrespective of the
event type. Hence, I did not focus too much on any other events.
But I understand that the cycles event is a special case. I'll check
the filter with cycles events on a generic counter.

Yes, that would be a way to go.

Yes, I guess it should be okay to split the cases into independent

The only reason why I went with 1 is I wanted to test the cycles and
instructions events with a workload, and these two aren't neighbours
when it comes to event numbers.
Anyway, I can also pick another supported event, plus its neighbours,
and test it only to the extent with pmu_event_is_supported(). This
way, I can also test .nevents > 2.

Thank you.
