[PATCH RFC 1/7] perf jevents: Add support for an extra directory level

[John Garry]

Currently we support upto a level 2 directory, and level 2 would be in the
form vendor/platform.

Add support for a further level, to hold specific categories of events for
when we want to segregate them for matching purposes.
