SDT event argument support on x86 is recently added to Perf. But
there are couple of issues with it.

It lacks renaming mapping for few 8 bit registers: al, bl, cl, dl,
ah, bh, ch and dh. SDT events using these registers in arguments
are failing at 'perf probe'. Add renaming logic to them. (patch 1)

It still has x86 specific code in general code. It also fails to
convert arguments having no offset but still surrounds register with
parenthesis for ex. 8@(%rdi) is converted to +(%di):u64, which is
rejected by uprobe_events. Also, 'perf probe' is failing for *all SDT
events on all archs except x86*. Solve these issues. (patch 2)

Add argument parser for powerpc. (patch 3)

Changes in v3:
  - (patch 1) Add renaming entries for ah, bh, ch and dh registers.[1]

  - (patch 1) v2 contains silly copy-paste error. It maps all al, bl...
    registers to ax. Fix that.

  - (patch 2) Fix typo 'constant'.

  - Patch 2 is not applying cleanly on top of patch 1 after adding
    ah, bh... registers. Fix that.

v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/27/118

This patch is prepared on top of acme/perf/core.
