hi all,
----------------------------------------
ref-cycles event is specially to Intel core, but can still used in arm architecture
with the wrong return value with 3.10 stable. this patch fix the bug and make it return NOT SUPPORTED
distinctly.
In upstream this bug has been fixed by other way, which changes more than one file
and more than 1000 lines. the primary commit is 6b7658ec8a100b608e59e3cde353434db51f5be0.
besides we can not simply cherry-pick.
