In Xe, the perf layer allows capture of HW counter streams. These HW
counters are generally performance related but don't have to be necessarily
so. Also, the name "perf" is a carryover from i915 and is not preferred.
Here we propose the name "observation" for this common layer which allows
capture of different types of these counter streams.
v2: Rename observability layer to observation layer (Lucas/Rodrigo)
v3: Rename sysctl file to "observation_paranoid" (Jose)
