Alexander Shishkin 670638477a perf/x86/intel/pt: Opportunistically use single range output mode
Most of PT implementations support Single Range Output mode, which is
an alternative to ToPA that can be used for a single contiguous buffer
and if we don't require an interrupt, that is, in AUX snapshot mode.

Now that perf core will use high order allocations for the AUX buffer,
in many cases the first condition will also be satisfied.

The two most obvious benefits of the Single Range Output mode over the
ToPA are:

 * not having to allocate the ToPA table(s),
 * not using the ToPA walk hardware.

Make use of this functionality where available and appropriate.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
