Subject: [PATCH 00/15] pending perf_counter bits

Most of the previous set, except I kept the powerpc set_perf_counter_pending()
bits.

This set also adds callchain support for x86 (no userspace yet -- am looking
at porting sysprof). Furthermore, it has a first attempt at making
perf_counters and oprofile and nmi_watchdog not stomp on each other.

New bits only compile tested on x86_64 and ppc64.

Seems to run ok on ppc64, except that the kerneltop output seems to
show fewer functions than before, for some reason.
