Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] KVM: x86/pmu: Refactoring code by reusing pmc->eventsel for fixed_counters

Hi,

This patch set is essentially triggered by Jim's patch set[1]
(especially patch 01 and 04).

The new idea to set up and maintain pmc->eventsel for fixed counters.
This would unify all fixed/gp code logic based on the same semantics
"pmc->eventsel". (I demonstrated this in patch 01-03, more can be done)

v1 -> v2 Changelog:
- Rename find_perf_hw_id() to pmc_perf_hw_id(); [Paolo]
- Add WARN_ON for amd_pmc_perf_hw_id(); [Paolo]
- Add pmc->intr to drop dummy need_overflow_intr(pmc); [Paolo]

Please check each commit message for more details
and let me know if there is any room for improvement,

Thanks.
