Currently we reject events which have the L3 bank == 1, such as 0x000084918F, because the cache field is non-zero. However that is incorrect, because although the bank is non-zero, the value we would write into MMCRC is zero, and so we can count the event. So fix the check to ignore the bank selector when checking whether the cache selector is non-zero.
