powerpc/oprofile: IBM CELL: add SPU event profiling support

This patch adds the SPU event based profiling funcitonality for the
IBM Cell processor.  Previously, the CELL OProfile kernel code supported
PPU event, PPU cycle profiling and SPU cycle profiling.   The addition of
SPU event profiling allows the users to identify where in their SPU code
various SPU evnets are occuring.  This should help users further identify
issues with their code.  Note, SPU profiling has some limitations due to HW
constraints.  Only one event at a time can be used for profiling and SPU event
profiling must be time sliced across all of the SPUs in a node.

The patch adds a new arch specific file to the OProfile file system. The
file has bit 0 set to indicate that the kernel supports SPU event profiling.
The user tool must check this file/bit to make sure the kernel supports
SPU event profiling before trying to do SPU event profiling.  The user tool
check is part of the user tool patch for SPU event profiling.

+/* The SPU interrupt handler

+ * SPU event profiling works as follows:
+ * The pm_signal[0] holds the one SPU event to be measured.  It is routed on
+ * the debug bus using word 0 or 1.  The value of pm_signal[1] and
+ * pm_signal[2] contain the necessary events to route the SPU program
+ * counter for the selected SPU onto the debug bus using words 2 and 3.
+ * The pm_interval register is setup to write the SPU PC value into the
+ * trace buffer at the maximum rate possible.  The trace buffer is configured
+ * to store the PCs, wrapping when it is full.  The performance counter is
+ * intialized to the max hardware count minus the number of events, N, between
+ * samples.  Once the N events have occured, a HW counter overflow occurs
+ * causing the generation of a HW counter interrupt which also stops the
+ * writing of the SPU PC values to the trace buffer.  Hence the last PC
+ * written to the trace buffer is the SPU PC that we want.  Unfortunately,
+ * we have to read from the beginning of the trace buffer to get to the
+ * last value written.  We just hope the PPU has nothing better to do then
+ * service this interrupt. The PC for the specific SPU being profiled is
+ * extracted from the trace buffer processed and stored.  The trace buffer
+ * is cleared, interrupts are cleared, the counter is reset to max - N.
+ * A kernel timer is used to periodically call the routine spu_evnt_swap()
+ * to switch to the next physical SPU in the node to profile in round robbin
+ * order.  This way data is collected for all SPUs on the node. It does mean
+ * that we need to use a relatively small value of N to ensure enough samples
+ * on each SPU are collected each SPU is being profiled 1/8 of the time.
+ * It may also be necessary to use a longer sample collection period.
