I am not convinced adding this new contextid_in_vmid is the best way forward.

The same applies here. PMU format bits are options the PMU supports rather than
a representation of the hardware, making bit numbering arbitrary. A such we
don't explicitly need a contextid_in_vmid option. Making the current contextid
variable, the same it was done for 'pid', should be sufficient. Based on the
value carried by contexid, i.e 14 or 15, the perf tools will know where to get
the contextID.
With regards to backward functionality, user who hard code 'config' on the perf
command line won't get the results they want when the kernel is at EL2 anyway.
The kernel, with function is_kernel_in_hyp_mode(), is not an issue.
