powerpc/perf: Add generic compat mode pmu driver
Most of the power processor generation performance monitoring
unit (PMU) driver code is bundled in the kernel and one of those
is enabled/registered based on the oprofile_cpu_type check at
the boot.
But things get little tricky incase of "compat" mode boot.
IBM POWER System Server based processors has a compactibility
mode feature, which simpily put is, Nth generation processor
(lets say POWER8) will act and appear in a mode consistent
with an earlier generation (N-1) processor (that is POWER7).
And in this "compat" mode boot, kernel modify the
"oprofile_cpu_type" to be Nth generation (POWER8). If Nth
generation pmu driver is bundled (POWER8), it gets registered.
Key dependency here is to have distro support for latest
processor performance monitoring support. Patch here adds
a generic "compat-mode" performance monitoring driver to
be register in absence of powernv platform specific pmu driver.
Driver supports only "cycles" and "instruction" events.
"0x0001e" used as event code for "cycles" and "0x00002"
used as event code for "instruction" events. New file
called "generic-compat-pmu.c" is created to contain the driver
specific code. And base raw event code format modeled
on PPMU_ARCH_207S.
