PATCH 1/1 powerpc/perf: Implement get_cpu_str()

powerpc/perf: Implement get_cpu_str()

With a file like ~/.cache/pmu-events/004d0100-core.json describing Power8 PMU events, we would need to run:

	perf stat \
		--events-file ~/.cache/pmu-events/004d0100-core.json \
		-e PM_CYC sleep 1

With this get_cpu_str(), on Powerpc, we can skip the --events-file option and run:

perf stat -e PM_CYC sleep 1

This was probably not intended to be here and the patch does not apply due to these lines.
