Add test cases to verify that Intel's Architectural PMU events work as expected when they are available according to guest CPUID. Iterate over a range of sane PMU versions, with and without full-width writes enabled, and over interesting combinations of lengths/masks for the bit vector that enumerates unavailable events. Test up to vPMU version 5, i.e. the current architectural max. KVM only officially supports up to version 2, but the behavior of the counters is backwards compatible, i.e. KVM shouldn't do something completely different for a higher, architecturally-defined vPMU version. Verify KVM behavior against the effective vPMU version, e.g. advertising vPMU 5 when KVM only supports vPMU 2 shouldn't magically unlock vPMU 5 features. According to Intel SDM, the number of architectural events is reported through CPUID.0AH:EAX[31:24] and the architectural event x is supported if EBX[x]=0 && EAX[31:24]>x. Handcode the entirety of the measured section so that the test can precisely assert on the number of instructions and branches retired.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
