I see that file now ! I have removed that documentation from my patch.

Agree.
Here is the updated patch.
---
This patchset addes two new sets of files to sysfs for POWER architecture.
- perf event config format in /sys/devices/cpu/format/event
- generic and POWER-specific perf events in /sys/devices/cpu/events/
The format of the first file is already documented in:
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-bus-event_source-devices-format
Document the format of the second set of files '/sys/devices/cpu/events/*'
which would also become part of the ABI.
Changelog[v3.1]:
(small changes to this one patch).
[Jiri Olsa]: Remove the documentation for the 'config format' file
as it is already documented.
[Jiri Olsa]: Move the documentation of 'events' also to 'testing/'
Changelog[v3]:
[Greg KH] Include ABI documentation.
