Changelog[v4]: [Jiri Olsa]: Mention that multiple event= like terms can be specified in the 'events' file. [Jiri Olsa]: Remove the documentation for the 'config format' file as it is already documented in 'Documentation/ABI/testing/'. [Jiri Olsa]: Move ABI documentation from 'stable/' to 'testing/' Changelog[v3]: [Greg KH] Include ABI documentation.
