Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] Add perf interface to expose nvdimm

Patchset adds performance stats reporting support for nvdimm.
Added interface includes support for pmu register/unregister
functions. A structure is added called nvdimm_pmu to be used for
adding arch/platform specific data such as supported events, cpumask
pmu event functions like event_init/add/read/del.
User could use the standard perf tool to access perf
events exposed via pmu.

Added implementation to expose IBM pseries platform nmem*
device performance stats using this interface.

Result from power9 pseries lpar with 2 nvdimm device:
command:# perf list nmem
  nmem0/cchrhcnt/                                    [Kernel PMU event]

Patch1:
        Introduces the nvdimm_pmu structure
Patch2:
	Adds common interface to add arch/platform specific data
	includes supported events, pmu event functions. It also
	adds code for cpu hotplug support.
Patch3:
        Add code in arch/powerpc/platform/pseries/papr_scm.c to expose
        nmem* pmu. It fills in the nvdimm_pmu structure with event attrs
        cpumask andevent functions and then registers the pmu by adding
        callbacks to register_nvdimm_pmu.
Patch4:
        Sysfs documentation patch

Changelog
---
v2 -> v3
- Added Tested-by tag.

- Fix nvdimm mailing list in the ABI Documentation.

- Link to the patchset v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/6/14/25

v1 -> v2
- Fix hotplug code by adding pmu migration call
  incase current designated cpu got offline. As
  pointed by Peter Zijlstra.

- Removed the retun -1 part from cpu hotplug offline
  function.

- Link to the patchset v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/6/8/500
