Michael Ellerman fd851780e6 perf: Expand definition of sysfs format attribute
Make it explicit that the format attributes may define overlapping bit
ranges. Unfortunately this was left unspecified originally, and all the
examples show non-overlapping ranges. I don't believe this is an ABI
change, as we are defining something that was previously undefined, but
others may disagree.

The POWER8 PMU would like to define overlapping ranges, as bit ranges in
the event code have different meanings for certain events. It will also
allow us to define an overarching "event" field, that encompasses all
others.

As far as I can see perf is comfortable with this change, however I am
not sure if there are any other users of the interface.
