[PATCH 26/31] perf, x86: Support for printing PMU state on spurious PMIs

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I had some problems with spurious PMIs, so print the PMU state
on a spurious one. This will not interact well with other NMI users.
Disabled by default, has to be explicitely enabled through sysfs.

Optional, but useful for debugging.
