using cpuid can be quirky (this is the case of VMWare without the
vPMC support) but fail to probe hwpmc.

a PMC. It was possible that we could have turned a bit on but
never cleared it.
Extend the calls to rdmsr() to all necessary functions, not
just those which previously caused a panic.

MFC after: 1 week
All of the necessary wrmsr calls are now preceded by a rdmsr
and we leave the reserved bits alone.
Document the bits in the relevant registers for future reference.

- Westmere based CPU (Xeon 5600, Corei7 980X) support.
- New man pages with events list for core and uncore.
- Updated Corei7 events with Intel 253669-033US December 2009 doc.
There is some removed events in the documentation, they have been
kept in the code but documented in the man page as obsolete.
- Offcore response events can be setup with rsp token.

and Core Duo), models 0xF (Core2), model 0x17 (Core2Extreme) and
model 0x1C (Atom).
In these CPUs, the actual numbers, kinds and widths of PMCs present
need to queried at run time. Support for specific "architectural"
events also needs to be queried at run time.
Model 0xE CPUs support programmable PMCs, subsequent CPUs
additionally support "fixed-function" counters.
- Use event names that are close to vendor documentation, taking in
account that:
- events with identical semantics on two or more CPUs in this family
can have differing names in vendor documentation,
- identical vendor event names may map to differing events across
CPUs,
- each type of CPU supports a different subset of measurable
events.
Fixed-function and programmable counters both use the same vendor
names for events. The use of a class name prefix ("iaf-" or
"iap-" respectively) permits these to be distinguished.
- In libpmc, refactor pmc_name_of_event() into a public interface
and an internal helper function, for use by log handling code.
- Minor code tweaks: staticize a global, freshen a few comments.
