Just look the code again, the config1 is defined in hw_perf_event structure
which is a generic structure used by all kinds of different architectures.
Although currently it's only used to save the ACR events index mask by x86,
it could still be used for other specific usages on other architectures in
the future. So we'd better keep this generic name "config1" then. 

Thanks.
