KVM: x86/pmu: Disable interception of select PMU MSRs for mediated vPMUs
For vCPUs with a mediated vPMU, disable interception of counter MSRs for
PMCs that are exposed to the guest, and for GLOBAL_CTRL and related MSRs
if they are fully supported according to the vCPU model, i.e. if the MSRs
and all bits supported by hardware exist from the guest's point of view.
Do NOT passthrough event selector or fixed counter control MSRs, so that
KVM can enforce userspace-defined event filters, e.g. to prevent use of
AnyThread events (which is unfortunately a setting in the fixed counter
control MSR).
Defer support for nested passthrough of mediated PMU MSRs to the future,
as the logic for nested MSR interception is unfortunately vendor specific.
