Impact: reduce per-cpu size for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
In most places it's cleaner to use the accessors cpu_sibling_mask()
and cpu_core_mask() wrappers which already exist.
I couldn't avoid cleaning up the access in oprofile, either.

This patch introduces multiplexing support for the Oprofile kernel
module. It basically adds a new function pointer in oprofile_operator
allowing each architecture to supply its callback to switch between
different sets of event when the timer expires. Userspace tools can
modify the time slice through /dev/oprofile/time_slice.
It also modifies the number of counters exposed to the userspace through
/dev/oprofile. For example, the number of counters for AMD CPUs are
changed to 32 and multiplexed in the sets of 4.
