This patch provides a way to plug in an alternate, basic, and GPL'ed PMU subsystem to help with their monitoring needs or for specialty work. It can also be used in case of serious unexpected bugs in perfmon. Mutual exclusion between the two subsystems is guaranteed, hence no conflict can arise from both subsystem being present.
