ARM: 5899/2: arm: provide a mechanism to reserve performance counters
To add support for perf events and to allow the hardware counters to be
shared with oprofile, we need a way to reserve access to the pmu
(performance monitor unit). Platforms with PMU interrupts should
register the interrupts in arch/arm/kernel/pmu.c
