Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] perf/x86/amd: Fix for LBR Freeze

Contains a fix for usage of LBR Freeze.

Previous versions can be found at:
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1706526029.git.sandipan.das@amd.com/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1704103399.git.sandipan.das@amd.com/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1702833179.git.sandipan.das@amd.com/

Changes in v4:
 - Move scattered feature bits from CPUID 0x80000022[EAX] to a dedicated
   word as suggested by Ingo.
 - Remove patches that have been merged (patch 2 and 3 from v3).

Changes in v3:
 - As suggested by Boris, update the commit message of the first patch
   with the reason behind making the LBR and PMC Freeze feature bit
   visible in /proc/cpuinfo.

Changes in v2:
 - Make the LBR and PMC Freeze feature bit visible in /proc/cpuinfo. As
   suggested by Stephane, this will be useful to determine if it is
   feasible to perform kernel FDO on a system.
