Meson8 uses Cortex-A9 cores and Meson8b uses Cortex-A5 cores. As most
Cortex-A5/A9 implementation these Amlogic SoCs also come with a
built-in PMU for counting cpu and cache events like cache misses and
hits.

Testing was done with:
# perf stat -a stress --cpu 4
(wait for ~8 seconds, then CTRL+C)
stress: info: [347] dispatching hogs: 4 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd
stress: Interrupt

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
