We can monitor the effectiveness of our power management of both the
kernel and hypervisor by probing the timer interrupt. For example, on
this box we see 10.37s timer interrupts on an idle core:

<idle>-0     [010]  3900.671297: timer_interrupt_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10
<idle>-0     [010]  3900.671302: timer_interrupt_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10

<idle>-0     [010]  3911.042963: timer_interrupt_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10
<idle>-0     [010]  3911.042968: timer_interrupt_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10

<idle>-0     [010]  3921.414630: timer_interrupt_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10
<idle>-0     [010]  3921.414635: timer_interrupt_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce1e7b10

Since we have a 207MHz decrementer it will go negative and fire every 10.37s
even if Linux is completely idle.

This adds powerpc-specific tracepoints for interrupt entry and exit.

While we already have generic irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
tracepoints there are cases on our virtualised powerpc machines where an
interrupt is presented to the OS, but subsequently handled by the hypervisor.
This means no OS interrupt handler is invoked.

Here is an example on a POWER6 machine with the patch below applied:

<idle>-0     [006]  3243.949840744: irq_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce31fb10
<idle>-0     [006]  3243.949850520: irq_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce31fb10

<idle>-0     [007]  3243.950218208: irq_entry: pt_regs=c0000000ce323b10
<idle>-0     [007]  3243.950224080: irq_exit: pt_regs=c0000000ce323b10

<idle>-0     [000]  3244.021879320: irq_entry: pt_regs=c000000000a63aa0
<idle>-0     [000]  3244.021883616: irq_handler_entry: irq=87 handler=eth0
<idle>-0     [000]  3244.021887328: irq_handler_exit: irq=87 return=handled
<idle>-0     [000]  3244.021897408: irq_exit: pt_regs=c000000000a63aa0

Here we see two phantom interrupts (no handler was invoked), followed
by a real interrupt for eth0. Without the tracepoints in this patch we
would have missed the phantom interrupts.
