[PATCH 1/9] perf x86: Add precise sysfs cpu pmu attribute

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com>]

Adding sysfs 'precise' attribute for cpu device
(/sys/devices/cpu/precise) to show the maximum
value for perf event precise attribute.

This will be initially used for automated precise
event perf test and could be helpful otherwise.

TODO Arnaldo suggested to use this as a guide for
default adding of precise attribute for HW events.
