    Introduce a generic per counter interrupt throttle.
    
    This uses the perf_counter_overflow() quick disable to throttle a specific
    counter when its going too fast when a pmu->unthrottle() method is provided
    which can undo the quick disable.
    
    Power needs to implement both the quick disable and the unthrottle method.
