Is there any possibility for combining the first 6 patches in some
manner? They're all just some "feature" within the level 1 cache
statistics.  I'm thinking of syntax such as:

virsh perf $dom --enable cache_1d=$LIST where $LIST is a comma separated
list and has the possibility for ra, rm, wa, wm, pa, and pm.

I didn't put much thought to it API wise and whether there's any
other/similar example. It's just something that it would seem would be
useful rather than the repetitiveness of these patches.

Also, lots of extra work within the *perl and *go bindings that at this
point to add all the new definitions. I think you should supply the
patches for those rather than relying on myself and/or Daniel to do
that. Just follow the countless previous examples!

NB: A couple of patches require an extra space between the "*" and
description within include/libvirt/libvirt-domain.h.

I'll handle patch 7 separately...
