Subject: [kvm-unit-tests patch 5/5] x86/pmu: Expand "llc references" upper limit for broader compatibility

From: dongsheng <dongsheng.x.zhang@...el.com>

Increase the upper limit of the "llc references" test to accommodate
results observed on additional Intel CPU models, including CWF and
SRF.
These CPUs exhibited higher reference counts that previously caused
the test to fail.
