This change:
* Removes "options PERFCTRS", the associated includes, and the associated
ifdefs. In doing so, it removes several XXXSMPs in the MI code, which is
good.
* Removes the PMC code of ARM XSCALE.
* Removes all the pmc.h files. They were all empty, except for ARM XSCALE.
* Reorders the x86 PMC code not to rely on the legacy pmc.h file. The
definitions are put in sysarch.h.
* Removes the kern/sys_pmc.c file, and along with it, the sys_pmc_control
and sys_pmc_get_info syscalls. They are marked as OBSOL in kern,
netbsd32 and rump.
* Removes the pmc_evid_t and pmc_ctr_t types.
* Removes all the associated man pages. The sets are marked as obsolete.
This system call was used in legacy Lisp code, that was inherited to modern
age and still compiled against supported compat layers (e.g. in clisp,
oaklisp, Franz Lisp).
It used to instruct the kernel about paging policy (G/C aware, flush etc).
Newly compiled code (assuming that it will detect vadvise()) will use the
libc stub for vadvise(). The headers for this interface are gone.
vadvise(2) could be marked as COMPAT_80, but as long as we support ultrix,
sunos or aout68k ABI, don't bother with this.

sstk - change stack section size
This functionality has never been implemented and is a remnant from 16-bit
UNIX. This stub appeared with the first NetBSD commit.
