The following patchset enables 4 additional performance counters in
AMD family 15h processors that counts northbridge events -- such as
number of DRAM accesses.

This patchset is based on previous work done by Robert Richter
<rric@kernel.org> :

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/19/324

The main differences are:

* The northbridge counters are indexed contiguously right above the
  core performance counters.

* MSR address offset calculations are moved to architecture specific
  files.

* Interrups are set up to be delivered only to a single core.

V3:
Addressed the following feedback/comments from Robert's review
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/484
* https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/26/162

V2:
Separate out Robert's patches, and add properly ordered certificate of
origins.
