Okay for COUNTSIZE and INTERVAL.

The only defined value for FORMAT is 'Format 0'. I assume next will be
'Format 1'. I don't think defines with the value in the name are too
useful. When this is used, we'll just be passing the value to
userspace via either sysfs or perf aux buffer.

MAXSIZE is the power of 2 encoded size and we just convert to bytes
(1<<MAXSIZE). So I can add them, but they will never be used.

STOP_IRQ doesn't seem like the best name either. It's not used, so I
changed it to 'FILL'.

    0b0000    Not_Described
    0b0001    Ignored
    0b0010    SError

What's the preferred case here?

Another power of 2 encoding.

Humm, PCT is a bit tricky. Here's what I came up with:

Enum    7:6    PCT
    0b00    VIRT
    0b01    PHYS
    0b11    GUEST
EndEnum

Again, CAPS or CarrotCase for new things?
