9d4fc86dcd powerpc/perf: Update Power PMU cache_events to u64 type
Events of type PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE was described for Power PMU
as: int (*cache_events)[type][op][result];

where type, op, result values unpacked from the event attribute config
value is used to generate the raw event code at runtime.

So far the event code values which used to create these cache-related
events were within 32 bit and `int` type worked. In power10,
some of the event codes are of 64-bit value and hence update the
Power PMU cache_events to `u64` type in `power_pmu` struct.
Also propagate this change to existing all PMU driver code paths
which are using ppmu->cache_events.

be80e758d0 powerpc/perf: Add generic compat mode pmu driver
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.
