I've messed with --cc-cmd badly and didn't include every one in cover
letter, sorry for that, attaching link to cover letter:

They are ARM inspired indeed.

Currently they are not referenced in this version of series at all,
their purpose is to be used like "ArchStdEvent".

Through any RISCV implementation should have at least these 3 events.
