[PATCHv2 0/7] arm64: perf: heterogeneous PMU support

This patch series reworks the 32-bit ARM perf code into a library, and migrates
the arm64 perf code over to it, gaining support for heterogeneous PMUs. Support
is then added for Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57 as used in Juno systems.

Previously the librification [1] and arm64 migration [2] were separate series,
but as the bulk of the librification has now been queued [3] and the remianing
work is mostly tirivial.

The first six patches apply atop of Will's perf/updates branch [3]. The final
patch must be applied atop of Liviu's for-upstream/juno-dts branch due to some
recent rework of the Juno dts files.

With this series applied, perf can be used to monitor 64-bit systems with
heterogeneous PMUs in an identical fashion to 32-bit systems, e.g.

$ perf stat -e armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/ -e armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/ ./a.out 

 Performance counter stats for './a.out':

         185250238 armv8_cortex_a53/config=0x11/                                    [55.34%]
         225006550 armv8_cortex_a57/config=0x11/                                    [43.96%]

       0.213953840 seconds time elapsed

$ perf stat -e cycles ./a.out 

 Performance counter stats for './a.out':

         830917902 cycles                    [64.60%]

Thanks,
Mark.
