Loongson-3 has two groups of performance counters, they are 4 sub-
registers of CP0's REG25. This patch add oprofile support.
REG25, sel 0: Perf Control of group 0;
REG25, sel 1: Perf Counter of group 0;
REG25, sel 2: Perf Control of group 1;
REG25, sel 3: Perf Counter of group 1.

Add support for XLR and XLS processors in MIPS Oprofile code. These
processors are multi-threaded and have two counters per core. Each
counter can track either all the events in the core (global mode),
or events in just one thread.
We use the counters in the global mode, and use only the first thread
in each core to handle the configuration etc.

Stack unwinding is done by code examination. For kernelspace, the
already existing unwind function is utilized that uses kallsyms to
quickly find the beginning of functions. For userspace a new function
was added that examines code at and before the pc.

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!
