performance counters: x86 support
Implement performance counters for x86 Intel CPUs. It's simplified right now: the PERFMON CPU feature is assumed, which is available in Core2 and later Intel CPUs. The design is flexible to be extended to more CPU types as well. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
