It's unclear this can be even done. Linux runs on a wide variety of micro
architectures, with all kinds of cache architectures.

Micro architectures are so different. I suspect a "generic" definition would
need to be so vague as to be useless.

This in general seems to be the problem of the current cache events.

Overall for any interesting analysis you need to go CPU specific.
Abstracted performance analysis is a contradiction in terms.
