With this patch and T-Head C908 PMU being probed by OpenSBI, I can now use
the perf record to profile RVV 1.0 software on Canaan Kendryte K230. This
will speed up many RVV 1.0 software developments now and even for better
performance.

However, as Inochi said, the newer version, C908 may support Sccofpmf. We
should ask Guo Ren to clarify this so we can have the cleanest way to
probe what to use between THEAD_PMU and Sscofpmu.

I added CC to Guo Ren. Please clarify about this.

Some off-topic things:

I need this feature recently since I am implementing a pure RVV chacha20
algorithm. I have already sent PR to openssl to speed up the crypto
performance on RVV without Zvkb support and maybe ported to kernel crypto
sometimes. To speed up TLS or other applications for many chips that may
come this year with RVV 1.0 but without Zvkb.

However, the performance evaluation on K230 is not well compared to pure C
implementation. I will need this PMU driver to do some profiling.

Thanks,
