ok, let's not polute surronding functions and make strict check
on what we want in here.. we are after following events:

	cpu_xxx/L1-dcache/
	cpu_xxx/l1-d|/
        ...
right?

so we are after events with single term in head_config that has name in:

	L1-dcache|l1-d|l1d|L1-data              |
	L1-icache|l1-i|l1i|L1-instruction       |
	LLC|L2                                  |
	dTLB|d-tlb|Data-TLB                     |
	iTLB|i-tlb|Instruction-TLB              |
	branch|branches|bpu|btb|bpc             |
	node

I think that with such direct check the code will be more straight
forward, also let's move it to parse-events-hybrid

do we need to call the parsing again? could we just call
parse_events__add_cache_hybrid?
