Subject: [patch 03/24] perfmon3:  context switch

This patch adds the support for context switching the PMU
state in per-thread monitoring mode. The code uses a lazy
approach to be more efficient for both UP and SMP kernels.

Note that this patch provides the generic switching
functionality, actual access to the registers is provided
separately for each architecture.
