+ * Notes on internal configuration of ESCR+CCCR tuples
+ *
+ * Since P4 has quite the different architecture of
+ * performance registers in compare with "architectural"
+ * once and we have on 64 bits to keep configuration
+ * of performance event, the following trick is used.
+ *
+ * 1) Since both ESCR and CCCR registers have only low
+ *    32 bits valuable, we pack them into a single 64 bit
+ *    configuration. Low 32 bits of such config correspond
+ *    to low 32 bits of CCCR register and high 32 bits
+ *    correspond to low 32 bits of ESCR register.
+ *
+ * 2) The meaning of every bit of such config field can
+ *    be found in Intel SDM but it should be noted that
+ *    we "borrow" some reserved bits for own usage and
+ *    clean them or set to a proper value when we do
+ *    a real write to hardware registers.
+ *
+ * 3) The format of bits of config is the following
+ *    and should be either 0 or set to some predefined
+ *    values:
+ *
+ *    Low 32 bits
+ *    -----------
+ *      0-6: P4_PEBS_METRIC enum
+ *     7-11:                    reserved

+ *    13-15:                    reserved (ESCR select)
+ *    16-17: Active Thread
