Perf is a well known and used tool for performance monitoring
and much more. A such it is an ideal candidate for integration
with coresight based HW tracing.
This patch introduces a PMU that represent a coresight tracer to
the Perf core.

SysFS entries are big enough to justify their own file.
As such moving all sysFS related declarations to a dedicated
location.

This driver manages Qualcomm CoreSight Replicator device, which
resides on the AMBA bus. Replicator has been made programmable to
allow software to turn of the replicator branch to sink that is not
being used. This avoids trace traffic to the unused/non-current sink
from causing back pressure that results in overflows at the source.

Keeping drivers related to HW tracing on ARM, i.e coresight,
under "drivers/coresight" doesn't make sense when other
architectures start rolling out technologies of the same
nature.
As such creating a new "drivers/hwtracing" directory where all
drivers of the same kind can reside, reducing namespace
pollution under "drivers/".
