[PATCH] Make 83xx perfmon support selectable

[PATCH] Make 83xx perfmon support selectable

[Andy Fleming]

Not all e300 cores support the performance monitors, and the ones
that don't will be confused by the mf/mtpmr instructions.  This
allows the support to be optional, so the 8349 can turn it off
while the 8379 can turn it on.  Sadly, those aren't config options,
so it will be left to the defconfigs and the users to make that
determination.

This needs to go in for 2.6.25 if possible.  It breaks the build
for some boards, and would cause them to crash or perform
indefinite operations.
