This kernel support is needed by the user-space tool:oprofile to profile
linux kernel or applications via loongson2 performance counters. you can
enable this driver via CONFIG_OPROFILE = y or m.
On Loongson2 there are two performance counters, each one can count 16
events respectively. when anyone of the performance counter overflows, an
interrupt will be generated and is routed to the IRQ MIPS_CPU_IRQ_BASE + 6.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
