Peter Zijlstra f4929bd372 perf, x86: Update/fix Intel Nehalem cache events 
Change the Nehalem cache events to use retired memory instruction counters
(similar to Westmere), this greatly improves the provided stats.

Using:

main ()
{
        int i;

        for (i = 0; i < 1000000000; i++) {
                asm("mov (%%rsp), %%rbx;"
                    "mov %%rbx, (%%rsp);" : : : "rbx");
        }
}

We find:

 $ perf stat --repeat 10 -e instructions:u -e l1-dcache-loads:u -e l1-dcache-stores:u ./loop_1b_loads+stores
  Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_loads+stores' (10 runs):
      4,000,081,056 instructions:u           #      0.000 IPC ( +-   0.000% )
      4,999,502,846 l1-dcache-loads:u          ( +-   0.008% )
      1,000,034,832 l1-dcache-stores:u         ( +-   0.000% )
         1.565184942  seconds time elapsed   ( +-   0.005% )

The 5b is surprising - we'd expect 1b:

 $ perf stat --repeat 10 -e instructions:u -e r10b:u -e l1-dcache-stores:u ./loop_1b_loads+stores
  Performance counter stats for './loop_1b_loads+stores' (10 runs):
      4,000,081,054 instructions:u           #      0.000 IPC ( +-   0.000% )
      1,000,021,961 r10b:u                     ( +-   0.000% )
      1,000,030,951 l1-dcache-stores:u         ( +-   0.000% )
         1.565055422  seconds time elapsed   ( +-   0.003% )

Which this patch thus fixes.
