In addition to the X-Gene ARM CPU performance monitoring unit (PMU), there
are PMU for the SoC system devices such as L3 cache(s), I/O bridge(s),
memory controller bridges and memory. These PMU devices are loosely
architected to follow the same model as the PMU for ARM cores.

v4:
 * Alphabetically sorting header files
 * Remove dynamic allocation for PMU format and event attribute groups
   Create shared constant attribute groups per each class
 * Remove perf_sample_data as this perf driver doesn't support sampling
 * Consistently use the PCP_PMU_V{1,2} defines
 * Set affinity to make sure the overflow interrupt is handled by the
   same assigned CPU

v3:
 * Remove index property use in PMU device sub nodes

v2:
 * Use bitmask for event asignned counter mask pmu_dev->cntr_assign_mask
 * Remove unnecessary spinlocks in perf add/del operations
 * Remove unnecessary condition checks
 * Enforce CPU assignment to one CPU for perf operarations
 * Set the task_ctx_nr to perf_invalid_context for perf driver
 * Remove irrelevant pt_rregs
 * Change perf sysfs attributes to be fixed instead of dynamic
 * Fix checking for an ACPI companion device instead of EFI enable
 * Add documentation for config/config1 fields format and perf tool example
