GMU support to save/restore SEL regs on IFPC when SYSPROF is enabled ;-)

If we had that, we wouldn't need ioclts to assign+configure counters,
everything else could be done in userspace (modulo trying to do both
local and global profiling at the same time.. but I'm not convinced
that is a valid use-case, as I mentioned earlier)
