Question: If we wanted to add proper named event support for the 
IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED events, how to add (if at all)?

So currently the driver only supports the Architected events, which is 
fine. And we support raw events for the IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED events 
(0x80-0xFFFF).

But to add named event support for the IMP DEF events, I assume we would 
want to do something similar to arm64 CPU PMU events - that is, common 
architected events in kernel pmu driver, and implementation defined 
events defined in perf tool. However I don't know if it's even feasible 
considering there does not seem to be a mandatory/standard PMCG ID 
register to detect the implementation.

Thanks,
John
