Thanks Kan! I think just "[Raw event descriptor]" so I can avoid
having a bunch of special case logic.

Makes sense, I'll add in v2. I was originally pondering making the
list specific in some way. Perhaps in the future we can associate
valid generic terms with PMUs, like the config_term_common,
config_term_pmu, etc. code in parse-events.c.
