[PATCH v2 1/2] perf tools: add event modifier to request exclusive PMU access

[Stephane Eranian]

This patch adds the x modifier for events. It allows users to
request exclusive PMU access (attr->exclusive):

perf stat -e cycles:x ......
or
perf stat -e cpu/cycles/x ....

Exclusive mode is a feature of perf_events which was not yet
supported by the perf tool. Some events may require exclusive
PMU access (like on Intel SandyBridge).

In V2, we fixed the max repeat factor for the event
modifier. Must be 9 not 8.
