While this SoC has perf counters, Unfortunately the overflow interrupts are not 
wired up. We can do perf stats but not sampling.

Peter was it you or Vince trying to use timer interrupts to emulate perf sampling 
on some ARM SoC ?

Thing is we have a spare hardware timer per core (TIMER1) which is not usabel for 
otherwise gtod function in SMP and could well be repurposed for perf needs.
