Add Documentation/perf-stat.txt and Documentation/perf-top.txt.
The template that was used for it: Documentation/git-add.txt from Git.
Fix up small bugs to make these help texts show up both in the 'perf'
common-command summary output screen, and on the individual help screens.

First very raw version at having a central 'perf' command and
a list of subcommands:
perf top
perf stat
perf record
perf report
...
This is done by picking up Git's collection of utility functions,
and hacking them to build fine in this new environment.

We'd like to have a similar user-space structure as Git has, for the
perfcounter tools - so copy in Git's toplevel makefile as-is.
We'll strip it down in subsequent commits to make it fit the
perfcounters code.

Impact: fix potential deadlocks on powerpc
Now that the core is using in_nmi() (added in e30e08f6, "perf_counter:
fix NMI race in task clock"), we need the powerpc perf_counter_interrupt
to call nmi_enter() and nmi_exit() in those cases where the interrupt
happens when interrupts are soft-disabled.
If interrupts were soft-enabled, we can treat it as a regular interrupt
and do irq_enter/irq_exit around the whole routine. This lets us get rid
of the test_perf_counter_pending() call at the end of
perf_counter_interrupt, thus simplifying things a little.

Limit the size of each record to 64k (or should we count in multiples

Impact: enable access to hardware feature
POWER processors have the ability to "mark" a subset of the instructions
and provide more detailed information on what happens to the marked
instructions as they flow through the pipeline. This marking is
enabled by the "sample enable" bit in MMCRA, and there are
synchronization requirements around setting and clearing the bit.
This adds logic to the processor-specific back-ends so that they know
which events relate to marked instructions and set the sampling enable
bit if any event that we want to put on the PMU is a marked instruction
event. It also adds logic to the generic powerpc code to do the
necessary synchronization if that bit is set.

The code that enables branch tracing for all (non-constant) branches
plays games with the preprocessor and #define's the C 'if ()' construct
to do tracing.
That's all fine, but it fails for some unusual but valid C code that is
sometimes used in macros, notably by the intel-iommu code:
if (i=drhd->iommu, drhd->ignored) ..
because now the preprocessor complains about multiple arguments to the
'if' macro.
So make the macro expansion of this particularly horrid trick use
varargs, and handle the case of comma-expressions in if-statements. Use
another macro to do it cleanly in just one place.
This replaces a patch by David (and acked by Steven) that did this all
inside that one already-too-horrid macro.
