This is based on v7 of the full Haswell PMU support,
rebased, and stripped down to the bare bones

Most interesting new features are not in this patchkit

- Basic Haswell PMU and PEBS support
- Late unmasking of the PMI
- Basic LBRv4 support

v2: Addressed Stephane's feedback. See individual patches for details.
v3: now even more bite-sized. Qualifier constraints merged earlier.
v4: Rename some variables, add some comments and other minor changes.
Add some Reviewed/Tested-bys.
v5: Address some minor review feedback. Port to latest perf/core
v6: Add just some variable names, add comments, edit descriptions, some
more testing, rebased to latest perf/core
v7: Expand comment
v8: Rename structure field.
v9: No wide counters, but add basic LBRs. Add some more 
constraints. Rebase to 3.9rc1
v10: Change some whitespace. Rebase to 3.9rc3
