This patch updates the PEBS support for Intel Atom to provide an alias for the cycles:pp event used by perf record/top by default nowadays.
On Atom, only INST_RETIRED:ANY supports PEBS, so we use this event instead with a large cmask to count cycles. Given that Core2 has the same issue, we use the intel_pebs_aliases_core2() function for Atom as well.
