This implements hardware performance events for the EV67 and later CPUs
within the Linux performance events subsystem.  Only using the performance
monitoring unit in HP/Compaq's so called "Aggregrate mode" is supported.

The code has been implemented in a manner that makes extension to other
older Alpha CPUs relatively straightforward should some mug wish to
indulge themselves.
