Note that the number of core PMCs has to be at least 6 if
guest_cpuid_has(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE). I suppose this leaf
could claim fewer, but the first 6 PMCs must work, per the v1 PMU
spec. That is, software that knows about PERFCTR_CORE, but not about
PMU v2, can rightfully expect 6 PMCs.
