We currently issue a new hcall for to retrieve the value of each 24x7
counter that we want to read. However, the H_GET_24x7_DATA hcall can
retrieve several counters in a single call, which would be useful in
getting a more consistent snapshot of the system.
Reorganize the code that prepares a 24x7 hcall request, submits it and
processes the result to allow reading seveal counters at once. We still
submit a fresh hcall for each event for now. A follow-on patch-set will
build on this to submit multiple perf_events in a single hcall.
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for his input.
