Yes that's correct. The hunk should look like this:

-       return counter & pmc->bitmask;
+       if (!(select_idx == ARMV8_PMU_CYCLE_IDX &&
+             __vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, PMCR_EL0) & ARMV8_PMU_PMCR_LC))
+               counter = lower_32_bits(counter);
+
+       return counter;

Thanks for the review.
