I think the PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_RAM only means it's a DRAM.
It doesn't contain the location information. To distinguish the local 
and remote dram, X86 uses PERF_MEM_REMOTE_REMOTE.
Here the remote dram will be mistakenly calculated if you only check the 
PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_RAM.

Actually, it looks like the mem_lvl_num fields supported in this patch 
are also supported by the PERF_MEM_LVL*. Why don't you set both 
PERF_MEM_LVLNUM_* and PERF_MEM_LVL* in your previous patch 4?
Then you can drop this patch.
