Subject: [PATCH v6 03/20] KVM: x86/pmu: Don't enumerate arch events KVM
 doesn't support

Don't advertise support to userspace for architectural events that KVM
doesn't support, i.e. for "real" events that aren't listed in
intel_pmu_architectural_events.  On current hardware, this effectively
means "don't advertise support for Top Down Slots".

Mask off the associated "unavailable" bits, as said bits for undefined
events are reserved to zero.  Arguably the events _are_ defined, but from
a KVM perspective they might as well not exist, and there's absolutely no
reason to leave useless unavailable bits set.

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