Intel hybrid platforms expose different perf devices for P and E cores.
Instead of one, "/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu" device, there are
"/sys/bus/event_source/devices/{cpu_core,cpu_atom}".
This, however makes it more complicated for the user,
because most of the counters are available on both and had to be
handled manually.
This patch allows users to use "virtual" cpu device that is seemingly
translated to cpu_core and cpu_atom perf devices, depending on the type
of a CPU we are opening the counter for.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
