[PATCH] x86-64: add X86_FEATURE_PEBS and detection

Here is a patch (used by perfmon2) to detect the presence of the
Precise Event Based Sampling (PEBS) feature for Intel 64-bit processors.
The patch also adds the cpu_has_pebs macro.

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