Performance Monitor Description

The performance monitors can be divided into the following groups:

1. Instruction statistics
2. Trap statistics
3. MMU event counters
4. Cache event counters
5. UPA transaction event counters
6. Miscellaneous counters

Events in Group 1 are counted on commit of the instructions. The instructions
executed speculatively are not counted. Events in groups 2 through 5 are counted
when they occur. All event counters implemented in SPARC64 V are listed in
