[PATCH 06/10] perf list: Skip unsupported events

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

Some hardware events might not be supported on a system.  Listing those
events seems meaningless and confusing to users.  Let's skip them.

Before:
  $ perf list cache | wc -l
  33

After:
  $ perf list cache | wc -l
  27
