[6/8] drm/i915: Add dev.i915.perf_event_paranoid sysctl option

Commit Message

Robert Bragg Feb. 2, 2016, 9:30 p.m. UTC

Consistent with the kernel.perf_event_paranoid sysctl option that can
allow non-root users to access system wide cpu metrics, this can
optionally allow non-root users to access system wide OA counter metrics
from Gen graphics hardware.
