Subject: [PATCH v4 0/5] Cavium ThunderX uncore PMU support 

As discussed, changed perf_sw_context -> perf_invalid_context.

Not changed:
- Stick to NUMA node ID to detect the socket a device belongs to but made
  uncore depend on CONFIG_NUMA.
- Stick to initcall for uncore framework because it is easier to do the
  scanning for the same type of PCI devices, also I don't know if the PCI layer
  would allow for several drivers to register for the same device ID.

Patches are against 4.9.0-rc2.

Changes to v3:
- use perf_invalid_context

Changes to v2:
- Embedded struct pmu and killed uncore->type
- Simplified add functions
- Unified functions where possible into a common implementation
- Use arrays to translate non-contiguous counter addresses to event_id's
  visible to the user
- Sorted includes
- Got rid of division for previous counter values
- Removed unneeded WARN_ONs
- Use sizeof(*ptr)
- Use bool for event_valid return
- Fixed HES_STOPPED logic
- Added some design notes and improved (hopefully) comments
- Removed pass1 counter support for now
- Merged EVENT_ATTR and EVENT_PTR defines into one (unreadable) thing
- Use pmu_enable|disable to start|stop the OCX TLK counter set
- Moved cpumask into thunder_uncore struct
- Switched to new cpuhp stuff. I still don't care about the CPU location
  used to access an uncore device, it may cross the CCPI and
  we'll pay a performance penalty. We might optimize this later, for now
  I feel it is not worth the time optimizing it.
