powerpc: Add PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT
Background from Maynard Johnson: As of POWER6, a set of 32 common events is defined that must be supported on all future POWER processors. The main impetus for this compat set is the need to support partition migration, especially from processor P(n) to processor P(n+1), where performance software that's running in the new partition may not be knowledgeable about processor P(n+1). If a performance tool determines it does not support the physical processor, but is told (via the PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT bit) that the processor supports the notion of the PMU compat set, then the performance tool can surface just those events to the user of the tool. PPC_FEATURE_PSERIES_PERFMON_COMPAT indicates that the PMU supports at least this basic subset of events which is compatible across POWER processor lines.
