This patches fixes some issies with raw event validation on Pentium 4 (Netburst)
processors.

As I was testing libpfm4 Netburst support, I ran into two problems in the
p4_validate_raw_event() function:
   - the shared field must be checked ONLY when HT is on
   - the binding to ESCR register was missing

The second item was causing raw events to not be encoded correctly compared
to generic PMU events.

With this patch, I can now pass Netburst events to libpfm4 examples and
get meaningful results:
  $ task -e global_power_events:running:u  noploop 1
  noploop for 1 seconds
  3,206,304,898 global_power_events:running
