Jamie Iles 1b8873a0c6 ARM: 5902/4: arm/perfevents: implement perf event support for ARMv6
This patch implements support for ARMv6 performance counters in the
Linux performance events subsystem. ARMv6 architectures that have the
performance counters should enable HW_PERF_EVENTS to get hardware
performance events support in addition to the software events.

Note: only ARM Ltd ARM cores are supported.

This implementation also provides an ARM PMU abstraction layer to allow
ARMv7 and others to be supported in the future by adding new a
'struct arm_pmu'.
