Patchset adds performance stats reporting support for nvdimm.
Added interface includes support for pmu register/unregister
functions. A structure is added called nvdimm_pmu to be used for
adding arch/platform specific data such as cpumask, nvdimm device
pointer and pmu event functions like event_init/add/read/del.
User could use the standard perf tool to access perf events
exposed via pmu.

Interface also defines supported event list, config fields for the
event attributes and their corresponding bit values which are exported
via sysfs. Patch 3 exposes IBM pseries platform nmem* device
performance stats using this interface.

Result from power9 pseries lpar with 2 nvdimm device:

Ex: List all event by perf list

command:# perf list nmem
