[PATCH v9 00/11] Add support for JSON event files.

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

This is another attempt to resurrect Andi Kleen's patchset so users
can specify perf events by their event names rather than raw codes.

This is a rebase of Andi Kleen's patchset from Jul 30, 2014[1] to 4.0.
(I fixed minor and not so minor conflicts).

This patchset includes the perf-download tool that was dropped and sets
the default download location to the (tools/perf/pmu-events/arch/...
directory in Linus's tree.

A follow-on patchset will include the actual JSON files for Powerpc, which
are currently available on github[2].
