Sidharth reports that on M2, the PMU never generates any interrupt
when using 'perf record', which is a annoying as you get no sample.
I'm temped to say "no sample, no problem", but others may have
a different opinion.
Upon investigation, it appears that the counters on M2 are
significantly different from the ones on M1, as they count on
64 bits instead of 48. Which of course, in the fine M1 tradition,
means that we can only use 63 bits, as the top bit is used to signal
the interrupt...
This results in having to introduce yet another flag to indicate yet
another odd counter width. Who knows what the next crazy implementation
will do...
With this, perf can work out the correct offset, and 'perf record'
works as intended.
Tested on M2 and M2-Pro CPUs.

The PMU itself is compatible with the one found on M1. We still know
next to nothing about the counters so keep using CPU uarch specific
compatibles/PMU names.

Since commit 8b41fc4454e ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.
So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.

Add a new, weird and wonderful driver for the equally weird Apple
PMU HW. Although the PMU itself is functional, we don't know much
about the events yet, so this can be considered as yet another
random number generator...
Nonetheless, it can reliably count at least cycles and instructions
in the usually wonky big-little way. For anything else, it of course
supports raw event numbers.
