perf_counter: powerpc: Change how processor-specific back-ends get selected
At present, the powerpc generic (processor-independent) perf_counter code has list of processor back-end modules, and at initialization, it looks at the PVR (processor version register) and has a switch statement to select a suitable processor-specific back-end. This is going to become inconvenient as we add more processor-specific back-ends, so this inverts the order: now each back-end checks whether it applies to the current processor, and registers itself if so. Furthermore, instead of looking at the PVR, back-ends now check the cur_cpu_spec->oprofile_cpu_type string and match on that. Lastly, each back-end now specifies a name for itself so the core can print a nice message when a back-end registers itself. This doesn't provide any support for unregistering back-ends, but that wouldn't be hard to do and would allow back-ends to be modules.
