The ARM PMU driver can be used to represent a variety of ARM based
PMUs. Some of these PMUs provide support for context exclusion, where
this is the case we advertise this via the PERF_PMU_CAP_EXCLUDE
capability to ensure that perf doesn't prevent us from handling events
where any exclusion flags are set.
