OK, I've got something like the below. Michael/Anton, would you please
clarify the ppc book3s capabilities?

Subject: perf: Clean up pmu::event_idx
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue Oct 21 11:10:21 CEST 2014

Andy reported that the current state of event_idx is rather confused.
So remove all but the x86_pmu implementation and change the default to
return 0 (the safe option).
