[PATCH V3 1/5] powerpc, perf: Add new BHRB related instructions for POWER8

This patch adds new POWER8 instruction encoding for reading
the BHRB buffer entries and also clearing it. Encoding for
"clrbhrb" instruction is straight forward. But "mfbhrbe"
encoding involves reading a certain index of BHRB buffer
into a particular GPR register.
