perf/x86: Only show format attributes when supported Only show the Intel format attributes in sysfs when the feature is actually supported with the current model numbers. This allows programs to probe what format attributes are available, and give a sensible error message to users if they are not. This handles near all cases for intel attributes since Nehalem, except the (obscure) case when the model number if known, but PEBS is disabled in PERF_CAPABILITIES.
