Based on Intel naming "intel_pt" and "intel_bts', I had expected
"arm-spe" as the universal basename for SPE.  I don't really care about
whether '_pmu' is included, but it's yet another naming inconsistency we
have with coresight's "cs_etm" (the other being prefixed with "arm_").

Also, nit, since I don't know why perf userspace tools can't handle
dashes in PMU names (commit 3d1ff755e367 "arm: perf: clean up PMU
names" doesn't say), can we at least start to use dashes in our
filenames?  arm-spe-pmu.c is easier to type than arm_spe_pmu.c.
Fortunately, not everyone is using a UK/US keyboard... ;-)

Thanks,
