[PATCH] ia64: switch to perfmon2
This patch contains a major rewrite of the perfmon subsystem to bring it to version 2.0. This version is NOT compatible with the existing perfmon-1.x version which was in 2.5 and still is in 2.4 kernels. This new codebase brings a lot of new features including the ability to attach to already running tasks, the ability the follow clone2, the ability to write your own sampling buffer format via kernel modules. It is also much more robust than its 1.x counter-part. This version supports the Itanium, McKinley and Madison PMUs. This is beta quality code and extensions to the interface are planned.
