It looks like

    make L2_RQSTS umasks more consistent
    
    RFO_HITS => RFO_HIT


and

    Make some umasks names more consistent
    
    TAKEN_RETURN_NEAR => TAKEN_NEAR_RETURN
    ALL_CONDITIONAL => ALL_CONF
    
    looks more natural that way.

caused these changes.

It looks like IVB got updated and SNB did not.  We can change the PAPI 
papi_events.csv to use the new names, but unfortunately the 5.0 release 
has the old names which conflicts with the libpfm4.3 release's new names.
