[PATCH v3 0/5]

[Marc Zyngier]

PMUv3 has been introduced with ARMv8 and, while it has only been used
on 64bit systems so far, it would definitely be useful for 32bit
guests running under KVM/arm64, for example.

There is also the case of people natively running 32bit kernels on
64bit HW and trying to upstream unspeakable hacks, hoping that the
stars will align and that they'll win the lottery (see [1]).

So let's try again, and make the PMUv3 driver usable for everyone.

This is done in three steps:
(1) Move the driver from arch/arm64 to drivers/perf
(2) Add a handful of system register accessors so that we can reuse
    the driver on 32bit
(3) Provide the same accessors on 32bit, enable compilation, and
    make it the default selection for mach-virt.

Tested on a Seattle box with 32bit guests.

* From v1:
  - Fixed encodings for some CP15 accessors
  - Added a terse note saying that CPU_V7 also covers ARMv8
  - Rebased on v4.12-rc5

* From v2:
  - SPDX tags on new and moved files. Yeah!
  - Annual rebase on 4.17-rc5
