POWER7 has the same PR/HV bit layout as POWER6, so set the flag.

At present, the powerpc generic (processor-independent) perf_counter
code has list of processor back-end modules, and at initialization,
it looks at the PVR (processor version register) and has a switch
statement to select a suitable processor-specific back-end.
This is going to become inconvenient as we add more processor-specific
back-ends, so this inverts the order: now each back-end checks whether
it applies to the current processor, and registers itself if so.
Furthermore, instead of looking at the PVR, back-ends now check the
cur_cpu_spec->oprofile_cpu_type string and match on that.
Lastly, each back-end now specifies a name for itself so the core can
print a nice message when a back-end registers itself.
This doesn't provide any support for unregistering back-ends, but that
wouldn't be hard to do and would allow back-ends to be modules.

This changes the powerpc perf_counter back-end to use unsigned long
types for hardware register values and for the value/mask pairs used
in checking whether a given set of events fit within the hardware
constraints. This is in preparation for adding support for the PMU
on some 32-bit powerpc processors. On 32-bit processors the hardware
registers are only 32 bits wide, and the PMU structure is generally
simpler, so 32 bits should be ample for expressing the hardware
constraints. On 64-bit processors, unsigned long is 64 bits wide,
so using unsigned long vs. u64 (unsigned long long) makes no actual
difference.
This makes some other very minor changes: adjusting whitespace to line
things up in initialized structures, and simplifying some code in
hw_perf_disable().

Sachin Sant reported these compiler errors:
CC arch/powerpc/kernel/power7-pmu.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/power7-pmu.c:297: error: PERF_COUNT_CPU_CYCLES undeclared here (not in a function)
Which happened because a last-minute rename of symbols crossed with
the Power7 support patch.
Fix this by using the new symbol names.

[ Fixed the Nehalem LL table to LLC Reference/Miss events ]

This adds tables of event codes for the generalized cache events for
all the currently supported powerpc processors: POWER{4,5,5+,6,7} and
PPC970*, plus powerpc-specific code to use these tables when a
generalized cache event is requested.

This adds the back-end for the PMU on POWER7 processors. POWER7
has 4 fully-programmable counters and two fixed-function counters
(which do respect the freeze conditions, can generate interrupts,
and are writable, unlike PMC5/6 on POWER5+/6).
