[PATCH -tip] perf, x86: P4 PMU - check for INSTR_COMPLETED beingsupported by cpu

From: Cyrill Gorcunov
Date: Wed Aug 18 2010 - 14:54:57 EST


INSTR_COMPLETED is supported on particular cpu models of Netburst family,
add a check for that.

Hi Ming, please review this patch, and if you happened to have this
cpu models give it a try please (if you manage to find some spare time
of course). To test it we need RAW event P4_EVENT_INSTR_COMPLETED passed
on any model not mentioned in p4_event_match_cpu_model, and reverse ;)
