Hi John,

Hardware counter and ext_counter work together for bandwidth, latency,
bus utilization and buffer occupancy events. For example, for latency
events(idx = 0x10), counter counts total delay cycles and ext_counter
counts PCIe packets number.

As we don't want PMU driver to process these two data, "delay cycles"
can be treated as an event(id = 0x10), "packets number" as another event
(id = 0x10 << 8), and driver could export these data separately.

if the user want to calculate latency of rx memory read, they should:
./perf stat -v -e '{hisi_pcieX/event=0x10, 
subevent=0x01/,hisi_pcieX/event=0x0400, subevent=0x01/

and for bandwidth event:
./perf stat -v -e '{hisi_pcieX/event=0x4, 
subevent=0x02/,hisi_pcieX/event=0x1000, subevent=0x02/

Then the value in HISI_PCIE_CNT and HISI_PCIE_EXT_CNT returned 
separately, and userspace could do the calculation.
