This unit-test is intended to test the KVM's support for the
Last Branch Recording (LBR) which is a performance monitor
unit (PMU) feature on Intel processors.
If the LBR bit is set to 1 in the DEBUGCTLMSR, the processor
will record a running trace of the most recent branches guest
taken in the LBR entries for guest to read.
This is a basic check that looks for the MSR LBR (via #GP check),
does some branches, and checks that the FROM_IP/TO_IP are good.
To run this test, use the QEMU option "-cpu host,migratable=no".
