Utilities for using PowerPC PMC performance counting registers

I want to set/get Performance Monitor Counting (PMC) registers on PowerPC MPC750. Basically, I am trying to measure iCache/dCache stats when applications are running. I've written some custom code to configure and read the registers from user space, but am looking for a quick way to host this code-- either in system calls, or through some pseudo-device's ioctl. The pmc_control() and pmc_get_info() system calls are yet to be implemented on PowerPC. In the interest of time, I'll try to host this small piece of code wherever I get results first. Before I do that, I wanted to know if there were any utilities that I could look at, that do the same thing for PowerPC-- I know that mac68k has a "4PM Performance Monitoring Tool" that esentially does the same thing.
