All kobjects require a dynamically allocated name now. We no longer
need to keep track if the name is statically assigned, we can just
unconditionally free() all kobject names on cleanup.

Always allow backtrace when using oprofile on ARM, even if a PMU
isn't present.

Add the glue for ARM11 SMP oprofile support, which also supports the
performance monitor in the coherency unit.

Add oprofile glue for ARM11 (ARMv6) oprofile support. This
connects the ARM11 core profiling support to the oprofile code
for uniprocessor configurations.

We need this to be zero initialised. Since this is an array, use kcalloc
rather than kzalloc or kmalloc.

Patch from Russ Dill
The oprofile init code was broken in commit c6b9da. The new logic will
always return -ENODEV. This fixes oprofile_arch_init to return 0 on
success, and return the return value of spec->init() if applicable.

There is nothing special about having the init code separate from
the common code, so combine the two.

The common oprofile code assumes the name "PMU" (from Intel's
performance management unit). This is misleading when we
start adding oprofile support for other machine types which
don't use the same terminology. Call it op_arm_* instead of
pmu_*.

The oprofile suspend/resume was missing locking. If we failed
to start oprofile on resume, we still reported that it was
enabled. Instead, disable oprofile on error.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
