[PATCH v3 3/3] xen: Expose the PMU to the guests



Add parameter vpmu to xl domain configuration syntax
to enable the access to PMU registers by disabling
the PMU traps(currently only for ARM).

The current status is that the PMU registers are not
virtualized and the physical registers are directly
accessible when this parameter is enabled. There is no
interrupt support and Xen will not save/restore the
register values on context switches.

Please note that this feature is experimental.

Changes since v2:
-remove redundant check from x86 code
-do not define bit position and mask separately
Changes since v1:
-modify vpmu parameter to be common rather than arch specific
