I wonder if such detailed checking of the performance counter
event numbers is really needed?  As long as feeding an bad number only
results in undefined counts of the performance counters I think we may
be better of by not checking the event numbers in detail.  Afair there
are MIPS licensee who have modified the counters to count extra events
so I sense some madness in that direction.
