Is this really needed? Non of the uncore PMU drivers have a magic config bit
either. Seems weird to me.

Also it might make sense to add a few event aliases to both this IOMMU and the
AMD uncore driver.

Search for uncore_.*_events in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel_uncore.c
for examples.

This way you can also make the IOMMU a tad more useful by providing some events
you think are the most useful for people interested in this thing.
