Make cpu type POWER8E equivalent to POWER8
Recent mainline kernel changes resulted in a cpu type of
"POWER8E" being displayed in /proc/cpuinfo for certain revisions
of the IBM POWER8 processor model. But for profiling and
counting of native events, we can ignore the differences between
POWER8 and POWER8E. This patch addresses that issue.
