Base enablement patch to register performance monitoring hardware
support for power10. Patch introduce the raw event encoding format,
defines the supported list of events, config fields for the event
attributes and their corresponding bit values which are exported via
sysfs.
Patch also enhances the support function in isa207_common.c to include
power10 pmu hardware.

Most of the power processor generation performance monitoring
unit (PMU) driver code is bundled in the kernel and one of those
is enabled/registered based on the oprofile_cpu_type check at
the boot.
But things get little tricky incase of "compat" mode boot.
IBM POWER System Server based processors has a compactibility
mode feature, which simpily put is, Nth generation processor
(lets say POWER8) will act and appear in a mode consistent
with an earlier generation (N-1) processor (that is POWER7).
And in this "compat" mode boot, kernel modify the
"oprofile_cpu_type" to be Nth generation (POWER8). If Nth
generation pmu driver is bundled (POWER8), it gets registered.
Key dependency here is to have distro support for latest
processor performance monitoring support. Patch here adds
a generic "compat-mode" performance monitoring driver to
be register in absence of powernv platform specific pmu driver.
Driver supports only "cycles" and "instruction" events.
"0x0001e" used as event code for "cycles" and "0x00002"
used as event code for "instruction" events. New file
called "generic-compat-pmu.c" is created to contain the driver
specific code. And base raw event code format modeled
on PPMU_ARCH_207S.

Currenty pmu driver file for each ppc64 generation processor
has a __init call in itself. Refactor the code by moving the
__init call to core-books.c. This also clean's up compat mode
pmu driver registration.
