Pai collects data from per CPU ring buffers and stores them in the
memory mapped output file. When data is collected from many CPUs at
the same time, writing data to output file can be slow.
Improve this and allow the pai recording to run with higher
real time priority. This is the same approach as done by the perf tool.

The Processor Activity Instrumentation facility (PAI) Extension 1
adds support for the counter set for Neural Network Processing Assist
(NNPA) counters.
NNPA counter values are appended as raw data to the data report.

The Processor Activity Instrumentation facility (PAI) uses the
perf_event_open system call to report data and the crypto counter
values. The data can be inspected with the perf tool in a very
generic way using raw data report and a hex dump utility.
The pai tool also uses the perf_event_open system call to record the
data, but uses specialized event attributes for recording detailed
information such as the recording of fork, exit, exec system call
events and context switch events.
Cryptography counter values are appended as raw data attachments.
The pai command can be used for recording and reporting.
Also a list of CPUs can be specified.
The recording ring buffers are created per CPU
and are named paicrypto.XXX where XXX stands for the CPU number.
The numbering scheme has leading zeros, such as 007 for CPU number 7.
For invocation and possible command line options see the man page.
