Approved by: re (implicit)

# 236238 29-May-2012 fabient

MFC r233628, r234598, r235229, r235831, r226986.

Add software PMC support.

New kernel events can be added at various location for sampling or counting.
This will for example allow easy system profiling whatever the processor is
with known tools like pmcstat(8).

Simultaneous usage of software PMC and hardware PMC is possible, for example
looking at the lock acquire failure, page fault while sampling on
instructions.

- Separate PMC class dependent code from other kinds of machine
dependencies. A 'struct pmc_classdep' structure describes operations
on PMCs; 'struct pmc_mdep' contains one or more 'struct pmc_classdep'
structures depending on the CPU in question.

Inside PMC class dependent code, row indices are relative to the
PMCs supported by the PMC class; MI code in "hwpmc_mod.c" translates
global row indices before invoking class dependent operations.

- Augment the OP_GETCPUINFO request with the number of PMCs present
in a PMC class.

- Move code common to Intel CPUs to file "hwpmc_intel.c".

- Move TSC handling to file "hwpmc_tsc.c".
