Subject: [PATCH 1/9] x86: Add a native_perf_sched_clock_from_tsc

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

PEBSv3 has a raw TSC time stamp in its memory buffer that
later needs to to be converted to perf_clock. Add a
native_sched_clock_from_tsc() that works the same
as native_sched_clock, but starts with an already given TSC
value.

Right now I ignore paravirt for this. It will just get
the native clock. But there isn't para virtualized PEBS anyways.
