This updates the perf tool with generic branch type classification with new
ABI extender place holder i.e PERF_BR_EXTEND_ABI, the new 4 bit branch type
field i.e perf_branch_entry.new_type, new generic page fault related branch
types and some arch specific branch types as added earlier in the kernel.

Indeed. But this new code block here looks exact same like the previous and existing one
i.e with branch_new_name() and PERF_BR_NEW_MAX. The complain is that - '%8s' directive
argument is NULL. This warning might just be a false positive [1], because of a compiler
problem on powerpc64el ? But please do let me know if something needs to be changed here
to avoid this warning.
