[GIT PULL] UAPI: perf fixes on top of perf/urgent

From: David Howells

Hi Arnaldo,

Here are my perf fixes based on top of your perf/urgent branch. I have
squashed the linux/hw_breakpoint.h disintegration patch into the main perf
patch as you can't have one without the other without getting errors.

I tried to apply Xiao Guangrong's builtin-kvm fixes for the x86/x86_64-only
bits, but they weren't simple to fix up - so I left them off.

So, if you could pull the perf-uapi-20121119 tag, this contains:

(1a) A patch to export asm/svm.h, asm/vmx.h and asm/perf_regs.h to UAPI.

(1b) A merge commit for (1a). The patch in (1a) is premerged by the UAPI
disintegration for x86 also, and I'd rather not include your perf/core
branch in that if I can avoid it.

Could you possibly merge patch (1a) rather than cherry-picking it? That
would mean that my disintegrate-x86 branch won't conflict with yours.

(2) The three tools patches from me plus Sukadev Bhattiprolu's powerpc patch
to use uapi/unistd.h that you have added to perf/core already.

(3) A patch that does:

(a) Exports and disintegrates linux/hw_breakpoint.h.

(b) Makes perf work for x86 by adding -I flags and changing long #includes
with "../../include" in them into short <asm/foo.h> type things.

Neither of these parts works without the other, so I've combined them into
one to maintain bisectability.

If you look on the perf-uapi branch in the GIT tree mentioned below, you'll see
that for convenience, I have added an extra bit beyond the tag mentioned below
whereby the disintegrate-x86 branch is merged and tagged as
uapi-perf-x86-20121119-2.
