Subject: [PATCH 7/7] kvm: x86/cpuid: Fix Architectural Performance Monitoring support

CPUID 0xA provides information on Architectural Performance
Monitoring features on some x86 processors. It advertises a
PMU version which Qemu uses to determine the availability of
additional MSRs to manage the PMCs.

Upon receiving a KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID ioctl request for
the same, the kernel constructs return values based on the
x86_pmu_capability irrespective of the vendor.

This CPUID function and additional MSRs are not supported on
AMD processors. If PerfMonV2 is detected, the PMU version is
set to 2 and guest startup breaks because of an attempt to
access a non-existent MSR. Return zeros to avoid this.

Fixes: a6c06ed1a60a ("KVM: Expose the architectural performance monitoring CPUID leaf")
