At present ARMv8 event counters are limited to 32-bits, though by
using the CHAIN event it's possible to combine adjacent counters to
achieve 64-bits. The perf config1:0 bit can be set to use such a
configuration.

With the introduction of ARMv8.5-PMU support, all event counters can
now be used as 64-bit counters. Let's add support for 64-bit event
counters.

As KVM doesn't yet support 64-bit event counters, we also trap
and emulate the Debug Feature Registers to limit the PMU version a
guest sees to PMUv3 for ARMv8.4.

Tested by running the following perf command on both guest and host
and ensuring that the figures are very similar:

perf stat -e armv8_pmuv3/inst_retired,long=1/ \
          -e armv8_pmuv3/inst_retired,long=0/ -e cycles

Changes since v1:

 - Rebased onto v5.5-rc1

When emulating ID registers there is often a need to cap the version
bits of a feature such that the guest will not use features that do
not yet exist.

Let's add a helper that extracts a field and caps the version to a
given value.

ARMv8.5-PMU introduces 64-bit event counters, however KVM doesn't yet
support this. Let's trap the Debug Feature Registers in order to limit
PMUVer/PerfMon in the Debug Feature Registers to PMUv3 for ARMv8.4.

At present ARMv8 event counters are limited to 32-bits, though by
using the CHAIN event it's possible to combine adjacent counters to
achieve 64-bits. The perf config1:0 bit can be set to use such a
configuration.

With the introduction of ARMv8.5-PMU support, all event counters can
now be used as 64-bit counters.

Let's enable 64-bit event counters where support exists. Unless the
user sets config1:0 we will adjust the counter value such that it
overflows upon 32-bit overflow. This follows the same behaviour as
the cycle counter which has always been (and remains) 64-bits.

Please could we make sure that the "cap" is masked to "width" bits. 
Otherwise looks good to me.
