At present, the powerpc generic (processor-independent) perf_counter
code has list of processor back-end modules, and at initialization,
it looks at the PVR (processor version register) and has a switch
statement to select a suitable processor-specific back-end.

This is going to become inconvenient as we add more processor-specific
back-ends, so this inverts the order: now each back-end checks whether
it applies to the current processor, and registers itself if so.
Furthermore, instead of looking at the PVR, back-ends now check the
cur_cpu_spec->oprofile_cpu_type string and match on that.

Lastly, each back-end now specifies a name for itself so the core can
print a nice message when a back-end registers itself.

This doesn't provide any support for unregistering back-ends, but that
wouldn't be hard to do and would allow back-ends to be modules.

This changes the powerpc perf_counter back-end to use unsigned long
types for hardware register values and for the value/mask pairs used
in checking whether a given set of events fit within the hardware
constraints.  This is in preparation for adding support for the PMU
on some 32-bit powerpc processors.  On 32-bit processors the hardware
registers are only 32 bits wide, and the PMU structure is generally
simpler, so 32 bits should be ample for expressing the hardware
constraints.  On 64-bit processors, unsigned long is 64 bits wide,
so using unsigned long vs. u64 (unsigned long long) makes no actual
difference.

This makes some other very minor changes: adjusting whitespace to line
things up in initialized structures, and simplifying some code in
hw_perf_disable().

Sachin Sant reported these compiler errors:

 CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/power7-pmu.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/power7-pmu.c:297: error: PERF_COUNT_CPU_CYCLES undeclared here (not in a function)

Which happened because a last-minute rename of symbols crossed with
the Power7 support patch.

Fix this by using the new symbol names.

The top (fastest) and last level (biggest) caches are the most
interesting ones, performance wise.

[ Fixed the Nehalem LL table to LLC Reference/Miss events ]
Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This adds tables of event codes for the generalized cache events for
all the currently supported powerpc processors: POWER{4,5,5+,6,7} and
PPC970*, plus powerpc-specific code to use these tables when a
generalized cache event is requested.

This adds the back-end for the PMU on POWER7 processors.  POWER7
has 4 fully-programmable counters and two fixed-function counters
(which do respect the freeze conditions, can generate interrupts,
and are writable, unlike PMC5/6 on POWER5+/6).
