Create a sysfs entry, '/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/format/event'
which describes the format of the POWER7 PMU events.
This code is based on corresponding code in x86.
Changelog[v4]: [Michael Ellerman, Paul Mckerras] The event format is different
for other POWER cpus. So move the code to POWER7-specific,
power7-pmu.c Also, the POWER7 format uses bits 0-19 not 0-20.
Changelog[v2]: [Jiri Osla] Use PMU_FORMAT_ATTR rather than duplicating code.

This will enable users to specify these events with their symbolic

Define and use macros to identify perf events codes This would make it
easier and more readable when these event codes need to be used in more

If we have two cache events that require different settings of the L2SEL
bits in MMCR1 then we can not schedule those events simultaneously. Add
logic to the constraint handling to express that.

powerpc/perf: Sample only if SIAR-Valid bit is set in P7+
On POWER7+ two new bits (mmcra[35] and mmcra[36]) indicate whether the
contents of SIAR and SDAR are valid.
For marked instructions on P7+, we must save the contents of SIAR and
SDAR registers only if these new bits are set.
This code/check for the SIAR-Valid bit is specific to P7+, so rather than
waste a CPU-feature bit use the PVR flag.
Note that Carl Love proposed a similar change for oprofile:

The perf code has grown a lot since it started, and is big enough to
warrant its own subdirectory. For reference it's ~60% bigger than the
oprofile code. It declutters the kernel directory, makes it simpler to
grep for "just perf stuff", and allows us to shorten some filenames.
While we're at it, make it more obvious that we have two implementations
of the core perf logic. One for (roughly) Book3S CPUs, which was the
original implementation, and the other for Freescale embedded CPUs.
