This implements the baseline PMU for RISC-V platforms.

To ease future PMU portings, a guide is also written, containing
perf concepts, arch porting practices and some hints.

Changes in v5:
   - Fix patch errors from checkpatch.pl.

Changes in v4:
   - Fix several compilation errors.  Sorry for that.
   - Raise a warning in the write_counter body.

Changes in v3:
   - Fix typos in the document.
   - Change the initialization routine from statically assigning PMU to
     device-tree-based methods, and set default to the PMU proposed in
     this patch.

Changes in v2:
   - Fix the bug reported by Alex, which was caused by not sufficient
     initialization.  Check https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/31/251 for the
     discussion.

Most of the perf tests either pass or fail because of unsupported
event/trace point which is fine.

However, I got an rcu-stall for the test "47: Event times".
# ./perf test -v 47
47: Event times                                :

It is quite possible that we don't support some dependency
infrastructure. I am looking into it.

Got it working. The test tries to attach the event to CPU0 which doesn't exist in HighFive Unleashed. Changing it to cpu1 works.

Palmer,
Would it be better to officially document it somewhere that CPU0 doesn't exist in the HighFive Unleashed board ? I fear that there will be other standard tests/code path that may fail because of inherent assumption of cpu0 presence.
