It seemed to me that the GCOV_PROFILE_ALL option was there to
differentiate between profiling and coverage. I may be wrong about
that. I didn't add the PGO_PROFILE_ALL because there's only one use
when you enable PGO_CLANG, profiling the entire kernel. It may be
useful to have PGO_PROFILE_ALL once we include coverage. Thoughts?
