Right, so I started playing with this, added a global Makefile to tools/
and from there we descend into lib/ and perf/ in that order to prepare
all the modules for the perflib. I've played with the include paths so
that you can have #include <util/util.h> for all that generic library
stuff.

The patch below carves out the debugfs helpers along with some generic
headers, please take a look and let me know if this is an agreeable
direction I'm going. Yeah, it is big, I think vger won't be able to
swallow it but this is only moving files around so...

Thanks.
