ppc64 perfctr driver from David Gibson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
- perfctr common updates: Makefile, version
- perfctr virtual quirk: the ppc64 low-level driver is unable to
prevent all stray overflow interrupts, on ppc64 (and only ppc64)
the right action in this case is to ignore the interrupt and resume
