The perf model for this is to use bit fields in config/config1 and then
declare those in sysfs, so that they can be set as cpu/foo=1,bar=2/
The kernel driver then extracts those fields.

This only supports numerical values, not string enumerations.

You can see the Intel uncore drivers as a example doing this extensively.
