[PATCH 0/8] Prepatory rework for multi-PMU support.

[mark.rutland@arm.com (Mark Rutland)]

This series performs inital preparation for big.LITTLE perf support. It
depends on the CCI rework posted previously [1], as the removal of
get_hw_events and the percpu rework is incompatible with the single
global set of events the CCI has.

As a result of this series:

* The callchain handling is split from the PMU driver, as with metag,
  powerpc, sh, and x86. This enables callchain handling for software
  events when the kernel is built without CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS.

* Legacy MIDR-based PMU probing is factored into a table that a
  subsequent series will split into separate drivers. On its own this
  should not result in a behavioural change.

* The ARM PMU accounting structures are reorganised and absorbed by
  struct arm_pmu, which will make possible the allocation and management
  of multiple PMUs in a later patch series.

Thanks,
Mark.
