Want to point out that the spec considers PMEVTYPER and PMEVFILTR* registers as optional,
please refer to section 2.1 in the spec. The spec also defines PMIMPDEF registers (starting
from offset 0xD80), which is intended for implementation defined extension. My interpretation
to this is implementer can have other methods to configure event selection and filtering, although
maybe not clear of how much freedom is given to the implementer.

Right, the CHECK_DEFAULT_IMPL_OPS(impl_ops, set_ev_filter) above will fallback
to default if ops.set_ev_filter is null.
