Subject: [RFC PATCH 19/41] KVM: x86/pmu: Whitelist PMU MSRs for passthrough PMU

From: Mingwei Zhang <mizhang@...gle.com>

Whitelist PMU MSRs is_valid_passthrough_msr() to avoid warnings in kernel
message. In addition add comments in vmx_possible_passthrough_msrs() to
specify that interception of PMU MSRs are specially handled in
intel_passthrough_pmu_msrs().
