This implements interrupt throttling on powerpc. Since we don't have individual count enable/disable or interrupt enable/disable controls per counter, this simply sets the hardware counter to 0, meaning that it will not interrupt again until it has counted 2^31 counts, which will take at least 2^30 cycles assuming a maximum of 2 counts per cycle. Also, we set counter->hw.period_left to the maximum possible value (2^63 - 1), so we won't report overflows for this counter for the forseeable future. The unthrottle operation restores counter->hw.period_left and the hardware counter so that we will once again report a counter overflow after counter->hw.irq_period counts.
