The June 2015 Intel SDM introduced IP Compression types 4 and 6. Refer
to section 36.4.2.2 Target IP (TIP) Packet - IP Compression.
Existing Intel PT packet decoder did not support type 4, and got type 6
wrong. Because type 3 and type 4 have the same number of bytes, the
packet 'count' has been changed from being the number of ip bytes to
being the type code. That allows the Intel PT decoder to correctly
decide whether to sign-extend or use the last ip. However that also
meant the code had to be adjusted in a number of places.
Currently hardware is not using the new compression types, so this fix
has no effect on existing hardware.

New features have been added to Intel PT which include a number of new
packet definitions.
This patch adds packet definitions for new packets: TMA, MTC, CYC, VMCS,
TRACESTOP and MNT. Also another bit in PIP is defined.
This patch only adds support for the definitions. Later patches add
support for decoding TMA, MTC, CYC and TRACESTOP which is where those
packets are explained.
VMCS and the newly defined bit in PIP are used with virtualization which
is not supported yet. MNT is a maintenance packet which the decoder
should ignore.
For details, refer to the June 2015 or later Intel 64 and IA-32
Architectures SDM Chapter 36 Intel Processor Trace.

Add support for decoding Intel Processor Trace packets.
This essentially provides intel_pt_get_packet() which takes a buffer of
binary data and returns the decoded packet.
