[PATCH v3 1/2] powerpc/perf: Use PVR rather than oprofile field to determine CPU version

From: Rashmica Gupta Currently the perf CPU backend drivers detect what CPU they're on using cur_cpu_spec->oprofile_cpu_type. Although that works, it's a bit crufty to be using oprofile related fields, especially seeing as oprofile is more or less unused these days. It also means perf is
