As Arm ARM says:

  0b0 : If PMSFCR_EL1.FDS is 1, do not record load operations that have
        bits [5:0] of the Data Source packet set to <m>.
  0b1 : Load operations with Data Source <m> are unaffected by
        PMSFCR_EL1.FDS.

We need extra handling for this configuration (0b0 means filtering,
0b1 means no affaction):

- By default, the driver should set all bits in the 'data_src_filter'
  field.

- The perf tool needs an extra patch in userspace to initialize all
  bits in config4 unless user specify other values.

Thanks,
Leo
