This patchset adds some missing event list for POWER7 PMU raw
events which are exported through sysfs interface. Also updates
the ABI documentation to add all the sysfs exported raw events.

In the Power7 PMU guide:
https://www.power.org/documentation/commonly-used-metrics-for-performance-analysis/
PM_BRU_MPRED is referred to as PM_BR_MPRED.
It fixed the typo by changing the name of the event in kernel and
documentation accordingly.
This patch changes the ABI, there are some reasons I think it's ok:
- It is relatively new interface, specific to the Power7 platform.
- No tools that we know of actually use this interface at this point
(none are listed near the interface).
- Users of this interface (eg oprofile users migrating to perf)
would be more used to the "PM_BR_MPRED" rather than "PM_BRU_MPRED".
- These are in the ABI/testing at this point rather than ABI/stable,
so hoping we have some wiggle room.

This patchset addes two new sets of files to sysfs for POWER architecture.
- perf event config format in /sys/devices/cpu/format/event
- generic and POWER-specific perf events in /sys/devices/cpu/events/
The format of the first file is already documented in:
sysfs-bus-event_source-devices-format
Document the format of the second set of files '/sys/devices/cpu/events/*'
which would also become part of the ABI.
Changelog[v4]:
[Jiri Olsa]: Mention that multiple event= like terms can be specified
in the 'events' file.
[Jiri Olsa]: Remove the documentation for the 'config format' file
as it is already documented in 'Documentation/ABI/testing/'.
[Jiri Olsa]: Move ABI documentation from 'stable/' to 'testing/'
Changelog[v3]:
[Greg KH] Include ABI documentation.
