Actually we have to support pmu style event for hybrid platform.
User may want to enable the events from specified pmus and also with flexible grouping.
For example,
perf stat -e '{cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/instructions/}' -e '{cpu_atom/cycles/,cpu_atom/instructions/}'
This usage is common and reasonable. So I think we may need to support pmu style events.
