x86: sched: provide arch implementations using aperf/mperf
APERF/MPERF support for cpu_power. APERF/MPERF is arch defined to be a relative scale of work capacity per logical cpu, this is assumed to include SMT and Turbo mode. APERF/MPERF are specified to both reset to 0 when either counter wraps, which is highly inconvenient, since that'll give a blimp when that happens. The manual specifies writing 0 to the counters after each read, but that's 1) too expensive, and 2) destroys the possibility of sharing these counters with other users, so we live with the blimp - the other existing user does too.
