perf_counter: powerpc: supply more precise information on counter overflow events

This uses values from the MMCRA, SIAR and SDAR registers on
powerpc to supply more precise information for overflow events,
including a data address when PERF_RECORD_ADDR is specified.

Since POWER6 uses different bit positions in MMCRA from earlier
processors, this converts the struct power_pmu limited_pmc5_6
field, which only had 0/1 values, into a flags field and
defines bit values for its previous use (PPMU_LIMITED_PMC5_6)
and a new flag (PPMU_ALT_SIPR) to indicate that the processor
uses the POWER6 bit positions rather than the earlier
positions.  It also adds definitions in reg.h for the new and
old positions of the bit that indicates that the SIAR and SDAR
values come from the same instruction.

For the data address, the SDAR value is supplied if we are not
doing instruction sampling.  In that case there is no guarantee
that the address given in the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord will
correspond to the instruction whose address is given in the
PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord.

If instruction sampling is enabled (e.g. because this counter
is counting a marked instruction event), then we only supply
the SDAR value for the PERF_RECORD_ADDR subrecord if it
corresponds to the instruction whose address is in the
PERF_RECORD_IP subrecord.  Otherwise we supply 0.

[ Impact: support more PMU hardware features on PowerPC ]
