+Extension on Sapphire Rapids Server
+===================================
+The metrics counter is extended to support TMA method level 2 metrics.
+The lower half of the register is the TMA level 1 metrics (legacy).
+The upper half is also divided into four 8-bit fields for the new level 2
+metrics. Four more TopDown metric events are exposed for the end-users,
+topdown-heavy-ops, topdown-br-mispredict, topdown-fetch-lat and
+topdown-mem-bound.
+
+Each of the new level 2 metrics in the upper half is a subset of the
+corresponding level 1 metric in the lower half. Software can deduce the
+other four level 2 metrics by subtracting corresponding metrics as below.
