Split the PMU events into meaningful functional groups.  Update core pmu
events based on supported ARMv8 recommended IMPLEMENTATION DEFINED
events.

The JSON files are updated with reference to a PMU table shared here:

Changes in v3:

- Will factor out events 0x00-0x38 in a follow-on patch - William
- to armv8-recommended.json
Changes in V2:
- Provided documentation for changes - John, William
- Broke up into meaningful groups - William

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
