Extend generic event enumeration with the PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE
method.
This is a 3-dimensional space:
{ L1-D, L1-I, L2, ITLB, DTLB, BPU } x
{ load, store, prefetch } x
{ accesses, misses }
User-space passes in the 3 coordinates and the kernel provides
a counter. (if the hardware supports that type and if the
combination makes sense.)
Combinations that make no sense produce a -EINVAL.
Combinations that are not supported by the hardware produce -ENOTSUP.
Extend the tools to deal with this, and rewrite the event symbol
parsing code with various popular aliases for the units and
access methods above. So 'l1-cache-miss' and 'l1d-read-ops' are
both valid aliases.
( x86 is supported for now, with the Nehalem event table filled in,
and with Core2 and Atom having placeholder tables. )

Counter type is a frequently used value and we do a lot of
bit juggling by encoding and decoding it from attr->config.
Clean this up by creating a separate attr->type field.
Also clean up the various similarly complex user-space bits
all around counter attribute management.
The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier
to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup).
(This changes the ABI, all tools are adapted.)

This works well, provided that the use nests properly. Except we don't.
x86 NMI/INT throttling has non-nested use of this, breaking things. Therefore

This patch implements the interrupt handler for AMD performance
counters. In difference to the Intel pmu, there is no single status
register and also there are no fixed counters. This makes the handler
very different and it is useful to make the handler vendor
specific. To check if a counter is overflowed the upper bit of the
counter is checked. Only counters where the active bit is set are
checked.
With this patch throttling is enabled for AMD performance counters.
This patch also reenables Linux performance counters on AMD cpus.

As for the enable function, this patch reworks the disable functions
and introduces x86_pmu_disable_counter(). The internal function i/f in
struct x86_pmu changed too.

There is vendor specific code in generic x86 code, and there is vendor
specific code that could be generic. This patch introduces
x86_pmu_enable_counter() for x86 generic code. Fixed counter code for
Intel is moved to Intel only functions. In the end, checks and calls
via function pointers were reduced to the necessary. Also, the
internal function i/f changed.

The type of counter index is sometimes implemented as unsigned
int. This patch changes this to have a consistent usage of int.

cpuc->active will now be used to indicate an enabled counter which
implies also valid pointers of cpuc->counters[]. In contrast,
cpuc->used only locks the counter, but it can be still uninitialized.
