Subject: [PATCH 02/10] perf: Add capability for common event support

Many PMUs do not support common hardware/cache/etc. events and only
handle their own PMU-specific events. Since this only depends on
matching the event and PMU types, it's a prime candidate for a core
capability to save more event_init boilerplate in drivers.
