Based on updated data from:
https://github.com/ARM-software/data/blob/master/pmu/neoverse-e1.json

which is based on PMU event descriptions from the Arm Neoverse E1
Technical Reference Manual.

This includes additional implementation defined fields not previously
included, and removes unimplemented events related to Arm's Statistical
Profiling Extension (SPE).

Applied locally, would be good to have an Acked-by or Reviewed-by, John?

Regardless of comment, below:

This looks the same as an a65 event. And more similar cases below, at a glance.

Even though this is not a std or recommended event from the arch reference manual, I don't see a reason why we can't put this as a "armltd_common_impdef_events.json" and make a ArchStdEvent but maybe a distinct name, like "STB_STALL_ARMLTD".

Nick, Can you please consider at factoring these out also?

Cheers,
John
