Public bug reported:
[IMPACT]
=======
The ARM architecture defines several events as part of the Performance Monitor
Unit (PMU) Extension. In addition, Cavium has added "implementation defined"
pmu core events, which Cavium deems most useful for analyzing performance.
Currently perf does not list these "implementation defined" events.
