    Description:
    		Attribute group to describe the magic bits that go into
    		perf_event_attr::config[012] for a particular pmu.
    		Each attribute of this group defines the 'hardware' bitmask
    		we want to export, so that userspace can deal with sane
    		name/value pairs.
    
    
    		Userspace must be prepared for the possibility that attributes
    		define overlapping bit ranges. For example:
    			attr1 = 'config:0-23'
    			attr2 = 'config:0-7'
    			attr3 = 'config:12-35'
    
    
    		Example: 'config1:1,6-10,44'
    		Defines contents of attribute that occupies bits 1,6-10,44 of
    		perf_event_attr::config1.
