Hey folks,

In trying to test PAPI-3.6.1/perfmon2 on POWER5, I ran into a problem 
with PFM_VERSION and /sys/kernel/perfmon/version

The latest perfmon2 kernel is showing version 2.81 in 
/sys/kernel/perfmon/version, but libpfm thinks the version is 2.8.

In libpfm, PFM_VERSION is encoded as 0x00020008, but in order for the 
version number to match the version number from 
/sys/kernel/perfmon/version, I think it would have to be 0x00020081.

Was this recent addition of an extra decimal place in the minor version 
number intentional?  Should libpfm 2.8 be compatible with perfmon2 2.81?

For now, I'm going to bypass that test to see if the rest of it works.

- Corey
