I've been working on some i-g-t tests for this new interface and while I still
have some more tests to write, it still seemed worth sending out another updated
series in the mean time.


Firstly this includes updates based on Emil's previous comments.

Then there have been a few issue hit while writing tests:

* It seems it can take a fairly long time for the MUX config to apply after
  the register writes have finished, and now the driver inserts a delay after
  configuration, before enabling periodic sampling.
* I've found that sometimes the HW tail pointer can get ahead of OA buffer
  writes, especially with higher sampling frequencies, and so now the driver
  maintains a margin behind the HW tail pointer to ensure the most recent
  reports have some time to land before attempting to copy them to userspace.
* As a sanity check that a report is valid before it's copied to userspace the
  driver checks the report-id field != 0
* The _BUFFER_OVERFLOW record has been replaced with a _BUFFER_LOST record with
  more specific semantics.
* Since we can't clear the overflow status on Haswell while periodic sampling
  is enabled, if an overflow occurs we now restart the unit.
* The maximum OA periodic sampling exponent is now 31
* We verify the head/tail pointers read back from HW look sane before using as
  offsets to read reports from the OA buffer. We reset the HW if they look bad.
