5686f9c3d6 sparc64: Implement a real set_perf_counter_pending().
When the perf counter subsystem needs to reschedule work out
from an NMI, it invokes set_perf_counter_pending().

This triggers a non-NMI irq which should invoke
perf_counter_do_pending().

Currently this won't trigger because sparc64 won't trigger
the perf counter subsystem from NMIs, but when the HW counter
support is added it will.

1c2f61d40b sparc64: Don't hook up pcr_ops on spitfire chips.
They can't be used for profiling and NMI watchdog currently
since they lack the counter overflow interrupt.

3eb8057bba sparc64: Move generic PCR support code to seperate file.
It all lives in the oprofile support code currently and we will need
to share this stuff with NMI watchdog and perf_counter support.
