[PATCH 1/6][v3] perf/Power7: Use macros to identify perf events

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
than one place.

Your patch is good, but raises the question why we're using L1 events
for HW_CACHE.

AFAICS on Intel they use 0x42fe/0x412e, which are last-level-cache (LLC)
events.
        
        PMU name : ix86arch (Intel X86 architectural PMU)
        Name     : LLC_REFERENCES
        Desc     : count each request originating from the core to
        reference a cache line in the last level cache. The count may
        include speculation, but excludes cache line fills due to
        hardware prefetch
        Code     : 0x4f2e

        PMU name : ix86arch (Intel X86 architectural PMU)
        Name     : LLC_MISSES
        Desc     : count each cache miss condition for references to the
        last level cache. The event count may include speculation, but
        excludes cache line fills due to hardware prefetch
        Code     : 0x412e


That would seem to more closely match our PM_L3_LD_HIT/MISS?

cheers
