kvm powerpc/book3s-apiv2: Introduce kvm-hv specific PMU
Introduce a new PMU named 'kvm-hv' inside a new module named 'kvm-hv-pmu'
to report Book3s kvm-hv specific performance counters. This will expose
KVM-HV specific performance attributes to user-space via kernel's PMU
infrastructure and would enableusers to monitor active kvm-hv based guests.
The patch creates necessary scaffolding to for the new PMU callbacks and
introduces the new kernel module name 'kvm-hv-pmu' which is built with
CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_PMU. The patch doesn't introduce any perf-events yet,
which will be introduced in later patches
