As you expected, I'm trying to confirm which one pmu has the capability 
to handle generic events in registering pmus instead of test generic 
events in each pmus when opening.
We can confirm that before using. We have pay more in handling them when 
opening.
So most driver developers use PERF_TYPE_RAW. x86 and arm use 
PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_HW_TYPE. Others use struct pmu::task_ctx_nr = 
perf_hw_context.
I think PERF_TYPE_RAW will be a easily accepted way. So ...

How do you think about this?
