The "oprofile" user-space tools don't use the kernel OPROFILE support
any more, and haven't in a long time. User-space has been converted to
the perf interfaces.
This commits stops building oprofile for powerpc and removes any
reference to it from directories in arch/powerpc/ apart from
arch/powerpc/oprofile, which will be removed in the next commit (this is
broken into two commits as the size of the commit became very big, ~5k
lines).
Note that the member "oprofile_cpu_type" in "struct cpu_spec" isn't
removed as it was also used by other parts of the code.

We no longer support these cpus, so we don't need oprofile support for
them either.

This patch adds the SPU event based profiling funcitonality for the
IBM Cell processor. Previously, the CELL OProfile kernel code supported
PPU event, PPU cycle profiling and SPU cycle profiling. The addition of
SPU event profiling allows the users to identify where in their SPU code
various SPU evnets are occuring. This should help users further identify
issues with their code. Note, SPU profiling has some limitations due to HW
constraints. Only one event at a time can be used for profiling and SPU event
profiling must be time sliced across all of the SPUs in a node.
The patch adds a new arch specific file to the OProfile file system. The
file has bit 0 set to indicate that the kernel supports SPU event profiling.
The user tool must check this file/bit to make sure the kernel supports
SPU event profiling before trying to do SPU event profiling. The user tool
check is part of the user tool patch for SPU event profiling.

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a
mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm
git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm
Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places
where <asm-powepc/...> was being used explicitly. Of the latter only
one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc.
