Scott Wood a11106544f powerpc/perf: e500 support
This implements perf_event support for the Freescale embedded performance
monitor, based on the existing perf_event.c that supports server/classic
chips.

Some limitations:
- Performance monitor interrupts are regular EE interrupts, and thus you
  can't profile places with interrupts disabled.  We may want to implement
  soft IRQ-disabling, with perfmon interrupts exempted and treated as NMIs.
- When trying to schedule multiple event groups at once, and using
  restricted events, situations could arise where scheduling fails even
  though it would be possible.  Consider three groups, each with two events.
  One group has restricted events, the others don't.  The two non-restricted
  groups are scheduled, then one is removed, which happens to occupy the two
  counters that can't do restricted events.  The remaining non-restricted
  group will not be moved to the non-restricted-capable counters to make
  room if the restricted group tries to be scheduled.

/*
* Performance event support - hardware-specific disambiguation
*
* For now this is a compile-time decision, but eventually it should be
* runtime. This would allow multiplatform perf event support for e300 (fsl
* embedded perf counters) plus server/classic, and would accommodate
* devices other than the core which provide their own performance counters.
