On Nehalem CPUs the retired branch-misses event can be completely bogus, when there are no branch-misses occuring. When there are a lot of branch misses then the count is pretty accurate. Still, this leaves us with an event that over-counts a lot. Detect this erratum and work it around by using BR_MISP_EXEC.ANY events. These will also count speculated branches but still it's a lot more precise in practice than the architectural event.
