9e9f601084 powerpc/perf/{hv-gpci, hv-common}: generate requests with counters annotated
This adds (in req-gen/) a framework for defining gpci counter requests.
It uses macro magic similar to ftrace.

Also convert the existing hv-gpci request structures and enum values to
use the new framework (and adjust old users of the structs and enum
values to cope with changes in naming).

In exchange for this macro disaster, we get autogenerated event listing
for GPCI in sysfs, build time field offset checking, and zero
duplication of information about GPCI requests.

a67f144739 powerpc/perf: Add hv_gpci interface header
"H_GetPerformanceCounterInfo" (refered to as hv_gpci or just gpci from
here on) is an interface to retrieve specific performance counters and
other data from the hypervisor. All outputs have a fixed format. This
header only describes the portions of the interface that we plan on
using in linux at this time.
