Subject: [PATCH v2] perf/x86: descriptive failure messages for PMU init
There's a default warning message that gets printed, however,
there are various failure conditions:
- a msr read can fail
- a msr write can fail
- a msr has an unexpected value
- all msrs have unexpected values (disable PMU)
Lastly, use %llx to silence checkpatch
Signed-off-by: Bandan Das <bsd@...hat.com>

v2:
Remove virt specific pr_debugs
Change the default warning message
