Subject: [PATCH 01/11] x86, perf: Support sysfs files depending on SMT status

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

Add a way to show different sysfs events attributes depending on
HyperThreading is on or off. This is difficult to determine
early at boot, so we just do it dynamically when the sysfs
attribute is read.

v2:
Compute HT status only once in CPU online/offline hooks.
