    MIPS: Add perf counter feature · 30228c40
    James Hogan authored
    Add CPU feature for standard MIPS r2 performance counters, as determined
    by the Config1.PC bit. Both perf_events and oprofile probe this bit, so
    lets combine the probing and change both to use cpu_has_perf.
    
    This will also be used for VZ support in KVM to know whether performance
    counters exist which can be exposed to guests.
