2013-08-14	selftests: Add test of PMU instruction counting on powerpc	Michael Ellerman	5	-0/+348
	This commit adds a test of instruction counting using the PMU on powerpc. Although the bulk of the code is architecture agnostic, the code needs to run a precisely sized loop which is implemented in assembler.
