Patch add "mem_access" event to sysfs. This as-is not a raw event
supported by Power8 pmu. Instead, it is formed based on
raw event encoding specificed in isa207-common.h.
Primary PMU event used here is PM_MRK_INST_CMPL.
This event tracks only the completed marked instructions.
Random sampling mode (MMCRA[SM]) with Random Instruction
Sampling (RIS) is enabled to mark type of instructions.
With Random sampling in RLS mode with PM_MRK_INST_CMPL event,
the LDST /DATA_SRC fields in SIER identifies the memory
hierarchy level (eg: L1, L2 etc) statisfied a data-cache
miss for a marked instruction.

Minor cleanup patch to replace the raw event hex values in
power8-pmu.c with #defines.

Power8 supports a large number of events in each susbystem so when a
user runs:
perf stat -e branch-instructions sleep 1
perf stat -e L1-dcache-loads sleep 1
it is not clear as to which PMU events were monitored.
Export the generic hardware and cache perf events for Power8 to sysfs,
so users can precisely determine the PMU event monitored by the generic
event.
Eg:
cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/events/branch-instructions
event=0x10068
$ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/events/L1-dcache-loads
event=0x100ee
