As the Processor Version Register (PVR) is a 32-bit PowerPC
register, change mfpvr() return type to match it and avoid
type casts on its callers.

This change adds support for POWER8 and POWER9 PMCs (bare metal and
pseries).
All PowerISA 2.07B non-random events are supported.
Implementation was based on that of PPC970.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
This supports e500v1, e500v2, and e500mc. Tested only on e500v2, but the
performance counters are identical across all, with e500mc having some
additional events.
Relnotes: Yes
spaces, rather than a split address, we actually can't check for being within
the kernel's address range. Instead, do what other backtraces do, and use
trapexit()/asttrapexit() as the stack sentinel.

The array index for the callchain is getting double-incremented -- both in the
loop and the storing. It should only be incremented in one location.
Also, constrain the stack pointer range check.

This also fixes asserts on removal of the module for the mpc74xx.
The PowerPC 970 processors have two different types of events: direct events
and indirect events. Thus far only direct events are supported. I included
some documentation in the driver on how indirect events work, but support is
for the future.

New kernel events can be added at various location for sampling or counting.
This will for example allow easy system profiling whatever the processor is
with known tools like pmcstat(8).
Simultaneous usage of software PMC and hardware PMC is possible, for example
looking at the lock acquire failure, page fault while sampling on
instructions.

- Implement sampling modes and logging support in hwpmc(4).
- Separate MI and MD parts of hwpmc(4) and allow sharing of
PMC implementations across different architectures.
Add support for P4 (EMT64) style PMCs to the amd64 code.
- New pmcstat(8) options: -E (exit time counts) -W (counts
every context switch), -R (print log file).
- pmc(3) API changes, improve our ability to keep ABI compatibility
in the future. Add more 'alias' names for commonly used events.
- bug fixes & documentation.
