The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/sh uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  Currently sh does not have any __CPUINIT used in
assembly files.

Extend the perf_pmu_register() interface to allow for named and
dynamic pmu types.

Because we need to support the existing static types we cannot use
dynamic types for everything, hence provide a type argument.

If we want to enumerate the PMUs they need a name, provide one.

<title>perf: Rework the PMU methods</title>

Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.

The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
the generic stopped state.

This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
code paths (like IRQ handlers).

It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).

The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
how the architecture implemented the throttled state:

 1) We disable the counter:
    a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
    b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state

 2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events
