Subject[PATCH] i386 add X86_FEATURE_PEBS and detection
Hello,

Here is a patch (used by perfmon2) to detect the presence of the
Precise Event Based Sampling (PEBS) feature for i386.
The patch also adds the cpu_has_pebs macro.

IMPORTANT: you need to have the i386 X86_FEATURE_DS renaming patch applied first!

changelog:
- adds X86_FEATURE_PEBS
- adds cpu_has_pebs to test for X86_FEATURE_PEBS
