Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] perf/x86/intel: Expose EPT-friendly PEBS for SPR and future models

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

According to Intel SDM, the EPT-friendly PEBS is supported by all the
platforms after ICX, ADL and the future platforms with PEBS format 5.

Currently the only in-kernel user of this capability is KVM, which has
very limited support for hybrid core pmu, so ADL and its successors do
not currently expose this capability. When both hybrid core and PEBS
format 5 are present, KVM will decide on its own merits.

V1 -> V2 Changelog:
- the perf part should be a separate patch; (Kan)
- apply PEBS format 5 to avoid patching every future model; (Kan)
