[PATCH] x86_64: Allow oprofile for model P4 models
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add it for P4 model 6 - reported to work and have a similar PMU to
earlier P4s.

Add an p4force=1 module override parameter for future use.

We had a discussion about that earlier - it's a trade off between the
PMU staying compatible or not.  I think the force parameter is a
reasonable compromise.
