[PATCH] perf tools: Add support to specify rXXX event withing pmu

[Jiri Olsa]

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx>

The current rXXXX event specification creates event under
PERF_TYPE_RAW pmu type. This change allows to use rXXXX
within pmu syntax, so it's type is used via following
syntax:

  -e 'cpu/r3c/'
  -e 'cpum_cf/r0/'

The XXXX number goes directly to perf_event_attr::config the
same way as in '-e rXXXX' event. The perf_event_attr::type is
filled with pmu type.
