*          Modified the perf_event_uncore component to use PFM_OS_PERF_EVENT_EXT mode in libpfm4.
*          This adds several new event masks, including cpu=, u=, and k= which give the user
*          the ability to set cpu number to use or control the domain (user, kernel, or both)
*          in which the counter should be incremented.  These are event masks so it is now
*          possible to have multiple events in the same event set that count activity from
*          differennt cpu's or count activity in different domains.

 * The following code controls how the uncore component interfaces with the 
 * kernel for uncore events.  The code inside the ifdef will use grouping of 
 * uncore events which can make the cost of reading the results more efficient.
 * The problem with it is that the uncore component supports 20 different uncore 
 * PMU's.  The kernel requires that all events in a group must be for the same PMU.
 * This means that with grouping enabled papi applications can count events on only
 * one of the 20 PMU's during a run.
 * 
 * The code inside the else clause treats each event in the event set as 
 * independent.  When running in this mode the kernel allows the papi multiple 
 * uncore PMU's at the same time.
 * 
 * Example:
 *  An application wants to measure all the L3 cache write requests.
 *  The event to do this is part of a cbox pmu (there are 8 cbox pmu's).
 *  When built with the code in the ifdef, the application would have to be 
 *    run 8 times and count write requests from one pmu at a time.
 *  When built with the code in the else, the write requests in all 8 cbox 
 *    pmu's could be counted in the same run.
