Yep, I just based this one on what PPC_PERF_CTRS was doing.

How about the following:

+config HV_PERF_CTRS
+ bool "Perf Hypervisor supplied counters"
+ default y
+ depends on PERF_EVENTS && PPC_HAVE_PMU_SUPPORT && PPC_PSERIES
+ help
+ Enable access to hypervisor supplied counters in perf. Currently,
+ this enables code that uses the hcall GetPerfCounterInfo and 24x7
+ interfaces to retrieve counters. GPCI exists on Power 6 and later
+ systems. 24x7 is available on Power 8 systems.
+
+ If unsure, select Y.

And relocated to arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig (as this isn't really
strictly "cputype" related).
