Cool.

I am looking at this topic now. But I am doubting the folder structure
again.

Firstly, we still have this comment in the README:
All the topic JSON files for a CPU model/family should be in a separate
sub directory.

Now, when thunderx3 or hip09 comes along, I assume that their jsons will
similarly go into cavium and hisilcon folders, respectively. So, for
example, we add thunderx3 json, like this:
arm64/cavium/thunderx3-imp-def.json
[
{
"PublicDescription": "foo",
"EventCode": "0x40",
"EventName": "bar",
"BriefDescription": "sieve",
},
]

#Family-model,Version,Filename,EventType
0x00000000420f5160,v1,cavium,core
0x00000000420f5161,v1,cavium,core

Then we have generated pmu_events.c, like this:
#include "../../pmu-events/pmu-events.h"
struct pmu_event pme_cavium[] = {
{
.name = "bar",
.event = "event=0x40",
.desc = "sieve",
.topic = "thunderx3 imp def",
.long_desc = "foo",
},
{
.name = "l1d_cache_rd",
.event = "event=0x40",
.desc = "L1D cache read",
.topic = "thunderx2 imp def",
.long_desc = "Attributable Level 1 data cache access, read",
},
{
.name = "l1d_cache_wr",
.event = "event=0x41",
.desc = "L1D cache write",
.topic = "thunderx2 imp def",
.long_desc = "Attributable Level 1 data cache access, write ",
},

[ ... ]

{
.name = 0,
.event = 0,
.desc = 0,
},
};
struct pmu_events_map pmu_events_map[] = {
{
.cpuid = "0x00000000420f5160",
.version = "v1",
.type = "core",
.table = pme_cavium
},
{
.cpuid = "0x00000000420f5161",
.version = "v1",
.type = "core",
.table = pme_cavium
},
{
.cpuid = 0,
.version = 0,
.type = 0,
.table = 0,
},
};

It doesn't look right, espcially since we have conflicting definitions
for event 0x40. We really should have table per cpu.
