Markus Metzger 93fa7636df x86, ptrace: PEBS support
Polish the ds.h interface and add support for PEBS.

Ds.c is meant to be the resource allocator for per-thread and per-cpu
BTS and PEBS recording.
It is used by ptrace/utrace to provide execution tracing of debugged tasks.
It will be used by profilers (e.g. perfmon2).
It may be used by kernel debuggers to provide a kernel execution trace.

Changes in detail:
- guard DS and ptrace by CONFIG macros
- separate DS and BTS more clearly
- simplify field accesses
- add functions to manage PEBS buffers
- add simple protection/allocation mechanism
- added support for Atom

Opens:
- buffer overflow handling
  Currently, only circular buffers are supported. This is all we need
  for debugging. Profilers would want an overflow notification.
  This is planned to be added when perfmon2 is made to use the ds.h
  interface.
- utrace intermediate layer
