Hi,

This is a follow up to [0]. By keeping the same semantics of eventsel
for gp and fixed counters, the reprogram code could be made more
symmetrical, simpler and even faster [1], and based on that, it fixes the
obsolescence amd_event_mapping issue [2].

Most of the changes are code refactoring, which help to review key
changes more easily. Patches are rebased on top of kvm/queue.

One of the notable changes is that we ended up removing the
reprogram_{gp, fixed}_counter() functions and replacing it with the
merged reprogram_counter(), where KVM programs pmc->perf_event
with only the PERF_TYPE_RAW type for any type of counter
(suggested by Jim as well).  PeterZ confirmed the idea, "think so;
the HARDWARE is just a convenience wrapper over RAW IIRC". 

Practically, this change drops the guest pmu support on the hosts without
X86_FEATURE_ARCH_PERFMON  (the oldest Pentium 4), where the
PERF_TYPE_HARDWAR is intentionally introduced so that hosts can
map the architectural guest PMU events to their own. (thanks to Paolo)

The 3rd patch removes the call trace in the commit message while we still
think that kvm->arch.pmu_event_filter requires SRCU protection in terms
of pmu_event_filter functionality, similar to "kvm->arch.msr_filter".

Please check more details in each commit and feel free to comment.
