Arnaldo, here is an updated patch. If it is acked by Paul Mackerras,
Michael Ellerman or Ben, will you add it to your tree so the whole
patchset comes from one place ?

Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH 5/6][v4]: perf Create a sysfs format entry for Power7 events

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.
