Hi Stephane,

As Carl Love and I were going over how unit masks are handled in libpfm, we ran into a confusing looking profile for pfm_find_event_mask. The first argument is the event index, and the doc shows it as a pointer to an unsigned int. The actual code has this as just an unsigned int.

I've attaching a patch to fix this error (or what appears to be an error).
