The series mainly adds Intel CMT feature support into libvirt. CMT

new introduced PQos (Platform Qos) feature to monitor the usage of
cache by applications running on the platform.
Currently CMT patches has been merged into Linux kernel mainline.
The CMT implementation in Linux kernel is based on perf mechanism and
there is no support for perf in libvirt, and so this series firstly
add perf support into libvirt, including two public API and a set of
util interfaces. And based on these APIs and interfaces, thie series
implements CMT perf event support.
TODO:
1. This series relys on keeping an open file descriptor for the guest.
We should add one patch to call sys_perf_event_open again iff libvirtd
is restarted.
Yes, we should reenable perf events when reconnecting to running
domains. Will we need to remember what events were enabled (in domain
status XML) or is it something we can read back from the kernel?
