    oprofile: re-add force_arch_perfmon option · 1dcdb5a9

    This re-adds the force_arch_perfmon option that was in the original
    arch perfmon patchkit. Originally this was rejected in favour
    of a generalized perfmon=name option, but it turned out implementing
    the later in a reliable way is hard (and it would have been easy
    to crash the kernel if a user gets it wrong)
    
    But now Atom and Core i7 support being readded a user would
    need to update their oprofile userland to beyond 0.9.4 to use oprofile again
    on Atom or Core i7.
    
    To avoid this problem readd the force_arch_perfmon option.
