Subject: [PATCH v4 12/38] perf/x86/core: Do not set bit width for unavailable counters

From: Sandipan Das <sandipan.das@....com>

Not all x86 processors have fixed counters. It may also be the case that
a processor has only fixed counters and no general-purpose counters. Set
the bit widths corresponding to each counter type only if such counters
are available.

Fixes: b3d9468a8bd2 ("perf, x86: Expose perf capability to other modules")
