Should we lowercase all event names as well?

/sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore/events
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore/events/QHL_REQUEST_REMOTE_READS
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore/events/QHL_REQUEST_LOCAL_READS
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore/events/QHL_REQUEST_IOH_READS
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore/events/QHL_REQUEST_REMOTE_WRITES
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore/events/QMC_WRITES_FULL_ANY
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore/events/QMC_NORMAL_READS_ANY
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore/events/QHL_REQUEST_LOCAL_WRITES
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore/events/QHL_REQUEST_IOH_WRITES
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/uncore/events/CLOCKTICKS

BTW we could encode those things like:

INTEL_UNCORE_EVENT_DESC(qhl_request_local_reads, 0x1020);

And have the print function decode that into something pretty, it would
save some 18 bytes per event or so. Not sure that's worth it, but who
knows.
