[PATCH] perf_counter tools: shorten names for events
Special handling for branches as branches are special
we don't really have 'branch loads', branches are executions.
'Branches' and 'Branch-misses' are the right term.
On AMD box:
$ ./perf stat -e l1d -e l1d-misses -e l1d-write -e l1d-prefetch -e l1d-prefetch-miss -e l1i -e l1i-misses -e l1i-prefetch -e l2 -e l2-misses -e l2-write -e dtlb -e dtlb-misses -e itlb -e itlb-misses -e bpu -e bpu-misses -- ls -lR /usr/include/ > /dev/null
