[PATCH 0/5] ARM: perf: split up perf_event.c by architecture

[Will Deacon]

Jean - is this a sensible email address to contact you with? Your old
       mvista one has stopped working.

Our perf_event.c is becoming rather cumbersome as more PMUs are added.
I know of at least two more (v7-based) PMUs that will be added in the
coming months which will push this file to the ~4KLOC region.

Since most updates to this file are to do with changes to the generic
Linux perf API, let's do what x86 does and split out the separate PMU
implementations into their own files. I've chosen to split it by
architecture revision: xscale, v6 and v7. Since the v7 PMU registers
are architected, this means that new v7 implementations just need to
describe their event mappings.

Comments welcome.
