Subject: [PATCH v11 08/17] KVM: x86/pmu: Reprogram PEBS event to emulate guest PEBS counter

From: Like Xu <likexu@...cent.com>

When a guest counter is configured as a PEBS counter through
IA32_PEBS_ENABLE, a guest PEBS event will be reprogrammed by
configuring a non-zero precision level in the perf_event_attr.

The guest PEBS overflow PMI bit would be set in the guest
GLOBAL_STATUS MSR when PEBS facility generates a PEBS
overflow PMI based on guest IA32_DS_AREA MSR.

Even with the same counter index and the same event code and
mask, guest PEBS events will not be reused for non-PEBS events.
