2016-02-02erts, kernel: Add os:perf_counter functionLukas Larsson
The perf_counter is a very very cheap and high resolution timer that can be used to timestamp system events. It does not have monoticity guarantees, but should on most OS's expose a monotonous time. A special instruction has been created for this counter to further speed up fetching it. OTP-12908

2015-12-16erl_prim_loader doc: Remove mention of user supplied loaderBjörn Gustavsson
Custom loaders are no longer supported. Most of the documentation for them were removed in c8a7d2d7.
2015-12-16Clean up start of erl_prim_loaderBjörn Gustavsson
The 'init' module fetches command line parameters and passes them to erl_prim_loader:start/3. The code can be simplified if 'init' calls a new erl_prim_loader:start/0 function that itself fetches the necessary command line parameters. Also remove the documentation for the start() function, since it there is no way that it can be usefully called by a user application. While we are at it, also get rid of '-id' command line parameter, which is fetched and stored but never actually used.
