With the goal of supporting pmu-events test case, introduce support for a
test events folder.

These test events can be used for testing generation of pmu-event tables
and alias creation for any arch.

When running the pmu-events test case, these test events will be used
as the platform-agnostic events, so aliases can be created per-PMU and
validated against known expected values.

To support the test events, add a "testcpu" entry in pmu_events_map[].
The pmu-events test will be able to lookup the events map for "testcpu",
to verify the generated tables against expected values.

The resultant generated pmu-events.c will now look like the following:

can't compile this one:

HOSTCC pmu-events/jevents.o

Hi jirka,

What baseline are you using? I used v5.6-rc6. The patches are here:

thanks,
