Here is a series of patches from Anton Blanchard that implement some 
nice tracing and perf_event features on powerpc.  One of them is 
generic perf_event stuff (adding software events for alignment faults 
and instruction emulation faults).

Since this touches the perf_event and tracing subsystems as well as 
the powerpc architecture code, I think the best way forward is for 
both Ingo and Ben to pull it into their trees.  I have based it on the 
most recent point in Linus' tree that Ingo had pulled into his perf 
branches (as of yesterday or so).

The generic perf bits look good to me - can pull it if Ben OKs the 
PowerPC bits.

Yup. Just went through all of them, they look fine. I also test built on
a number of default configs and it seems to pass.

Pulled into tip:perf/powerpc (will keep it in a separate branch for a 
few days then it can go into perf/core), thanks guys!
