+	  Enable kernel support for performance counter hardware.
+
+	  Performance counters are special hardware registers available
+	  on most modern CPUs. These registers count the number of certain
+	  types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
+	  suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
+	  kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
+	  when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
+	  used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
+
+	  The Linux Performance Counter subsystem provides an abstraction of
+	  these hardware capabilities, available via a system call. It
+	  provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event
+	  capabilities on top of those.
