It would be nice if the filenames here reflected the reconfigured
events. From what I can tell on AMD with BMEC it is possible to change the
underlying events so that local b/w is reported in the mbm_total_bytes
file, and vice versa. Or an event like:

   6       Dirty Victims from the QOS domain to all types of memory

is counted.

Though maybe we'd need to create a lot of filenames for the 2**6
combinations of bits.
