This patch restores default values for:

/dev/oprofile/cpu_buffer_size
/dev/oprofile/buffer_watershed
/dev/oprofile/buffer_size

when creating the oprofilefs:

 # opcontrol --deinit
 # opcontrol --init
 # cat /dev/oprofile/cpu_buffer_size
 8192
 # echo 5123 > /dev/oprofile/cpu_buffer_size
 # cat /dev/oprofile/cpu_buffer_size
 5123
 # opcontrol --deinit
 # opcontrol --init
 # cat /dev/oprofile/cpu_buffer_size
 8192
 # opcontrol --deinit

This sets the values in a defined state. Before, there was no way to
restore the defaults without rebooting the system or reloading the
module.

Reverting commit 1a960b40 for the main
branch. Multiplexing will be tracked on a separate feature branch.

Conflicts:

    arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.c

This patch introduces multiplexing support for the Oprofile kernel
module. It basically adds a new function pointer in oprofile_operator
allowing each architecture to supply its callback to switch between
different sets of event when the timer expires. Userspace tools can
modify the time slice through /dev/oprofile/time_slice.

It also modifies the number of counters exposed to the userspace through
/dev/oprofile. For example, the number of counters for AMD CPUs are
changed to 32 and multiplexed in the sets of 4.

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
