Subject: [PATCH 0/4] perf: memory load/store events generalization

Hi, all

Intel PMU provides 2 facilities to monitor memory operation: load latency and precise store.
This patchset tries to generalize memory load/store events.
So other arches may also add such features.

A new sub-command "mem" is added,

$ perf mem

 usage: perf mem [<options>] {record <command> |report}

    -t, --type <type>     memory operations(load/store)
    -L, --latency <n>     latency to sample(only for load op)

$ perf mem -t load record make -j8

<building kernel ..., monitoring memory load opeartion>

$ perf mem -t load report

Memory load operation statistics
