On i386, the PERFCTR option is currently available under:
Power management options (ACPI, APM)
APM (Advanced Power Management) BIOS Support
On x86_64, the PERFCTR option is currently available under:
Executable file formats / Emulation
On ppc, the PERFCTR option is currently available under:
Processor
On ppc64, the PERFCTR option is currently available under:
Platform support
The ppc and ppc64 places seem to be logical, but the places where it's
available on i386 and x86_64 are strange.

The strange placement on i386 and x86_64 is probably due to patch
making mistakes. Once I saw patch misapply a Kconfig hunk for
x86_64 by about 900 lines...
Feel free to propose a cleanup patch.
