I think I'm slightly late to the party reviewing what appears to be my
own code :)

I think this could be easier to work with if it were [PERF_MSR_TSC] =
{...}, etc.  No big deal, though, until the list gets long.  However,
it might make fixing the apparent issue below easier...

...

Shouldn't this verify that the fancy enumeration code actually
believes that msr[cfg] exists on this system?  Otherwise we might have
a very short wait until the perf fuzzer oopses this thing :)
