Jiri Olsa 641cc93881 perf: Adding sysfs group format attribute for pmu device
Adding sysfs group 'format' attribute for pmu device that
contains a syntax description on how to construct raw events.

The event configuration is described in following
struct pefr_event_attr attributes:

  config
  config1
  config2

Each sysfs attribute within the format attribute group,
describes mapping of name and bitfield definition within
one of above attributes.

eg:
  "/sys/...<dev>/format/event" contains "config:0-7"
  "/sys/...<dev>/format/umask" contains "config:8-15"
  "/sys/...<dev>/format/usr"   contains "config:16"

the attribute value syntax is:

  line:      config ':' bits
  config:    'config' | 'config1' | 'config2"
  bits:      bits ',' bit_term | bit_term
  bit_term:  VALUE '-' VALUE | VALUE

Adding format attribute definitions for x86 cpu pmus.
