The default for the Xen hypervisor is to not enable VPMU in order to
avoid security issues. In this case the Linux kernel will issue the
message "Could not initialize VPMU for cpu 0, error -95" which looks
more like an error than a normal state.
Change the message to something less scary in case the hypervisor
returns EOPNOTSUPP or ENOSYS when trying to activate VPMU.

This will match how PMU errors are reported at check_hw_exists()'s
msr_fail label, which is reached when VPMU initialzation fails.

Now that all functionality has been moved to arch/x86/events/, move the
perf_event.h header and adjust include paths.

Add PMU emulation code that runs when we are processing a PMU interrupt.
This code will allow us not to trap to hypervisor on each MSR/LVTPC access
(of which there may be quite a few in the handler).

Provide interfaces for recognizing accesses to PMU-related MSRs and
LVTPC APIC and process these accesses in Xen PMU code.
(The interrupt handler performs XENPMU_flush right away in the beginning
since no PMU emulation is available. It will be added with a later patch).

AMD and Intel PMU register initialization and helpers that determine
whether a register belongs to PMU.
This and some of subsequent PMU emulation code is somewhat similar to
Xen's PMU implementation.

Map shared data structure that will hold CPU registers, VPMU context,
V/PCPU IDs of the CPU interrupted by PMU interrupt. Hypervisor fills
this information in its handler and passes it to the guest for further
processing.
Set up PMU VIRQ.
Now that perf infrastructure will assume that PMU is available on a PV
guest we need to be careful and make sure that accesses via RDPMC
instruction don't cause fatal traps by the hypervisor. Provide a nop
RDPMC handler.
For the same reason avoid issuing a warning on a write to APIC's LVTPC.
Both of these will be made functional in later patches.
