Core i7 and Westmere processors, the uncore PMC subsystem is
completely different from the uncore PMC on smaller versions of CPUs.
Disable existing uncore hwpmc code for EX, otherwise non-existing MSRs
are accessed.
The cores PMCs seems to be identical for non-EX and EX, according to
the SDM.

This also fixes asserts on removal of the module for the mpc74xx.
The PowerPC 970 processors have two different types of events: direct events
and indirect events. Thus far only direct events are supported. I included
some documentation in the driver on how indirect events work, but support is
for the future.

There is no point in hiding, e.g. pmc.xscale(3) from a developer running
on amd64, when the target arch in question will probably never have
manual pages installed at all.

New kernel events can be added at various location for sampling or counting.
This will for example allow easy system profiling whatever the processor is
with known tools like pmcstat(8).
Simultaneous usage of software PMC and hardware PMC is possible, for example
looking at the lock acquire failure, page fault while sampling on
instructions.

- Rename pmc.mips to pmc.mips24k since it covers just one CPU,
no whole architecture
- Add documetnations for Octeon's PMC counters
- Remove CAVEATS section from pmc.mips24k page: PMC for MIPS supports
sampling now.

As the underlying block is 4KB if the PMC throughput is low the measurement
will be reported on the next tick. pmcstat(8) use the modified flush API to
reclaim current buffer before displaying next top.
