        Hi Ben, Kumar,

Finally (after ca. 1.5 years), he're an updated version of my patch to keep track of emulated instructions. In the light of Kumar's `Emulate enough of SPE instructions to make gcc happy' patch, he probably also wants to keep track of
the actual runtime overhead.

Changes since last version:
- arch/powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c is now compiled on ppc32, so we can provide
   counters in sysfs on ppc32, too,
 - WARN_EMULATED() is a no-op if CONFIG_SYSCTL is disabled,
 - Add warnings for altivec,
 - Add warnings for recently introduced emulation of vsx and isel
   instructions.

pretty cool.  Do we think counters should be sysfs or debugfs?

Also it would be nice to be able to zero out the counters.
