Michael Cree 65d920646a alpha: add performance monitor interrupt counter
The following patches implement hardware performance events for the Alpha
EV67 and later CPUs.  I have had this running on a Compaq XP1000 (EV67,
single CPU) for a few days now.  Pretty cool -- discovered that the glibc
exp2() library routine uses on average 985 cycles to execute 777 CPU
instructions whereas Compaq's CPML library version of exp2() uses on
average 32 cycles to execute 47 CPU instructions to achieve the same
thing!

This patch:

Add performance monitor interrupt counternd and export the count to user
space via /proc/interrupts.
