[RFC PATCH 0/1] perf tools: Add 'm' event modifier for counting

[Nikita Shubin]

From: Nikita Shubin <n.shubin@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch is a proposal to add Machine Mode modifier that is currently 
available only for RISC-V for perf tool.

We don't currently have a level that is lower than kernel, so i don't 
see we can reuse something existing for this purpose.

The exclude_machine bit seems harmless to as no one will proccess it apart 
of riscv.

Patch depends on Atish Patra PMU series:
https://lwn.net/Articles/879905/
 + some modifications to pass execlude event to SBI PMU extension

Tested with qemu.
