Recently Ilkka reported that the JSONs for the AmpereOne arm64-based platform included a dud event which referenced a non-existent arch std event [0]. Previously in the times of jevents.c, we would raise an exception for this. This is still invalid, even though the current code just ignores such an event. Re-introduce code to raise an exception for when no definition exists to help catch as many invalid JSONs as possible.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
