When the perf counter subsystem needs to reschedule work out
from an NMI, it invokes set_perf_counter_pending().
This triggers a non-NMI irq which should invoke
perf_counter_do_pending().
Currently this won't trigger because sparc64 won't trigger
the perf counter subsystem from NMIs, but when the HW counter
support is added it will.

They can't be used for profiling and NMI watchdog currently
since they lack the counter overflow interrupt.

It all lives in the oprofile support code currently and we will need
to share this stuff with NMI watchdog and perf_counter support.
