This is code for the OF stub that we but in Dom0 address space, it  
usually only needs to perform console hcalls, there is no reason to  
add the H_PERFMON hcall to this code, this code runs in a domain NOT  
Xen.

This will create a C callable function (papr_h_perfmon) written in  
assembler that for an hcall that takes 5 arguements and returns a  
single result value.
