+ *
+ * The value and mask are divided up into (non-overlapping) bitfields
+ * of three different types:
+ *
+ * Select field: this expresses the constraint that some set of bits
+ * in MMCR* needs to be set to a specific value for this event.  For a
+ * select field, the mask contains 1s in every bit of the field, and
+ * the value contains a unique value for each possible setting of the
+ * MMCR* bits.  The constraint checking code will ensure that two events
+ * that set the same field in their masks have the same value in their
+ * value dwords.
+ *
+ * Add field: this expresses the constraint that there can be at most
+ * N events in a particular class.  A field of k bits can be used for
+ * N <= 2^(k-1) - 1.  The mask has the most significant bit of the field
+ * set (and the other bits 0), and the value has only the least significant
+ * bit of the field set.  In addition, the 'add_fields' and 'test_adder'
+ * in the struct power_pmu for this processor come into play.  The
+ * add_fields value contains 1 in the LSB of the field, and the
+ * test_adder contains 2^(k-1) - 1 - N in the field.
+ *
+ * NAND field: this expresses the constraint that you may not have events
+ * in all of a set of classes.  (For example, on PPC970, you can't select
+ * events from the FPU, ISU and IDU simultaneously, although any two are
+ * possible.)  For N classes, the field is N+1 bits wide, and each class
+ * is assigned one bit from the least-significant N bits.  The mask has
+ * only the most-significant bit set, and the value has only the bit
+ * for the event's class set.  The test_adder has the least significant
+ * bit set in the field.
+ *
+ * If an event is not subject to the constraint expressed by a particular
+ * field, then it will have 0 in both the mask and value for that field.
