This doesn't really belong in harness.c, it's a helper function. So move
it into utils.c.

My patch to add install support for the powerpc selftests had a typo,
leading to the three tests in the pmu directory itself not being
installed.

The bulk of the selftests are actually below the powerpc sub directory.

This adds support for installing them, when on a powerpc machine, or if
ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE are set appropriately.

This is a little more complicated because of the sub directory structure
under powerpc, but much of the common logic in lib.mk is still used. The
net effect of the patch is still a reduction in code.

Have a task eat some cpu while we are counting instructions to create
some scheduler pressure. The idea being to try and unearth any bugs we
have in counting that only appear when context switching is happening.

Currently we ignore errors from our sub Makefiles. We inherited that
from the top-level selftests Makefile which aims to build and run as
many tests as possible and damn the torpedoes.

For the powerpc tests we'd instead like any errors to fail the build, so
we can automatically catch build failures.

We can achieve the best of both worlds by using -k, which tells make to
keep building when it hits an error, but still reports the error.

The Power8 Performance Monitor Unit (PMU) has a new feature called Event
Based Branches (EBB). This commit adds tests of the kernel API for using
EBBs.

This commit adds a test of instruction counting using the PMU on powerpc.

Although the bulk of the code is architecture agnostic, the code needs to
run a precisely sized loop which is implemented in assembler.
