perf_events, x86: AMD event scheduling

This patch adds correct AMD NorthBridge event scheduling.

NB events are events measuring L3 cache, Hypertransport traffic. They are
identified by an event code >= 0xe0. They measure events on the
Northbride which is shared by all cores on a package. NB events are
counted on a shared set of counters. When a NB event is programmed in a
counter, the data actually comes from a shared counter. Thus, access to
those counters needs to be synchronized.

We implement the synchronization such that no two cores can be measuring
NB events using the same counters. Thus, we maintain a per-NB allocation
table. The available slot is propagated using the event_constraint
structure.

+  * if a counter is available, there is a guarantee the NB event
+  * will be assigned to it. If no slot is available, an empty
+  * constraint is returned and scheduling will eventually fail
+  * for this event.

+  * Note that all cores attached the same NB compete for the same
+  * counters to host NB events, this is why we use atomic ops. Some
+  * multi-chip CPUs may have more than one NB.
+  *
+  * Given that resources are allocated (cmpxchg), they must be
+  * eventually freed for others to use. This is accomplished by
