Adds the Performance Events support for ARMv7 processor, using the PMNC unit in HW. Supports the following: - Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 processors, - dynamic detection of the number of available counters, based on the PMCR value, - runtime detection of the CPU arch (v6 or v7) and model (Cortex-A8 or Cortex-A9) Tested on OMAP3 (Cortex-A8) only.

This patch implements support for ARMv6 performance counters in the Linux performance events subsystem. ARMv6 architectures that have the performance counters should enable HW_PERF_EVENTS to get hardware performance events support in addition to the software events. Note: only ARM Ltd ARM cores are supported. This implementation also provides an ARM PMU abstraction layer to allow ARMv7 and others to be supported in the future by adding new a 'struct arm_pmu'.
