Although based on the Intel P6 design, the interrupt mechnanism
for KNC more closely resembles the Intel architectural
perfmon one.
We can't just re-use that code though, because KNC has different
MSR numbers for the status and ack registers.
In this case we just cut-and paste from perf_event_intel.c
with some minor changes, as it looks like it would not be
worth the trouble to change that code to be MSR-configurable.

x86_pmu.enable() is called from x86_pmu_enable() with
cpuc->enabled set to 0. This means we weren't re-enabling the
counters after a context switch.
This patch just removes the check, as it should't be necessary
(and the equivelent x86_ generic code does not have the checks).
The origin of this problem is the KNC driver being based on the
P6 one. The P6 driver also has this issue, but works anyway
due to various lucky accidents.

Early versions of Intel KNC chips have a bug where bits above 32
were not properly set. We worked around this by only using the
bottom 32 bits (out of 40 that should be available).
It turns out this workaround breaks overflow handling.
The buggy silicon will in theory never be used in production
systems, so remove this workaround so we get proper overflow
support.

The following patch adds perf_event support for the Xeon-Phi
PMU, as documented in the "Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor (codename:
Knights Corner) Performance Monitoring Units" manual.
Even though it is a co-processor, a Phi runs a full Linux
environment and can support performance counters.
This is just barebones support, it does not add support for
interesting new features such as the SPFLT intruction that
allows starting/stopping events without entering the kernel.
The PMU internally is just like that of an original Pentium, but
a "P6-like" MSR interface is provided. The interface is
different enough from a real P6 that it's not easy (or
practical) to re-use the code in perf_event_p6.c
