[PATCH] x86_64: Allow oprofile for model P4 models
Add it for P4 model 6 - reported to work and have a similar PMU to earlier P4s. Add an p4force=1 module override parameter for future use. We had a discussion about that earlier - it's a trade off between the PMU staying compatible or not. I think the force parameter is a reasonable compromise.
