Is there some reason PMU drivers have their own edition of this 
function? I see a few similar ones here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c#n309

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/powerpc/perf/core-book3s.c#n1986

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/s390/kernel/perf_event.c#n239

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/perf/qcom_l2_pmu.c#n731

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/perf/qcom_l3_pmu.c#n655

That is apart from the event id width format.

But the leading zeroes seem to be cropped anyway in the perf tool, 
according to this:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/util/pmu.c#n335 
(this was added in 0c24d6fb7db, in June 18)
