[PATCH V6 0/3] Adding support for address filters

[Mathieu Poirier]

This patch set makes it possible to use the current filter
framework with address filters.  That way address filters for
HW tracers such as CoreSight and IntelPT can be communicated
to the kernel drivers.

In this revision precursor work is done to make function
perf_evsel__append_filter() generic, along with changes to
current customers.  From there the work on address filters is
introduced.

Thanks,
Mathieu
