Currently, the PMU interface allows reading only one counter at a time. But some PMUs like the 24x7 counters in Power, support reading several counters at once. To leveage this functionality, extend the transaction interface to support a "transaction type". The first type, PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD, refers to the existing transactions, i.e. used to _schedule_ all the events on the PMU as a group. A second transaction type, PERF_PMU_TXN_READ, will be used in a follow-on patch, by the 24x7 counters to read several counters at once. Extend the transaction interfaces to the PMU to accept a 'txn_flags' parameter and use this parameter to ignore any transactions that are not of type PERF_PMU_TXN_ADD.
