[PATCH 1/5] MIPS: perf: More robustly probe for the presence of per-tc counters

[Matt Redfearn]

Processors implementing the MIPS MT ASE may have performance counters
implemented per core or per TC. Processors implemented by MIPS and the
BMIPS5000 signify presence per TC through a bit in the implementation
specific Config7 register. Currently the code which probes for their
presence blindly reads a magic number corresponding to this bit, despite
it potentially having a different meaning in the CPU implementation.

Fix this by introducing probe_mipsmt_pertccounters() to probe for their
presence. This detects the ases implemented in the CPU, and reads any
implementation specific bit flagging their presence. In the case of MIPS
and BMIPS5000 implementations, this bit is Config7.PTC. A definition of
this bit is added in mipsregs.h for both MIPS Technologies
implementations and BMIPS5000.

The test of Config7.PTC was previously enabled when CONFIG_BMIPS5000 was
enabled, whereas now it is based on Broadcom PRID. If this bit is not
present / defined for all Broadcom implementations, please could someone
present a correct alternative means to detect it?
