[PATCH v4 12/53] powerpc/64s: Implement PMU override command line option

[Nicholas Piggin]

It can be useful in simulators (with very constrained environments)
to allow some PMCs to run from boot so they can be sampled directly
by a test harness, rather than having to run perf.

A previous change freezes counters at boot by default, so provide
a boot time option to un-freeze (plus a bit more flexibility).
