Fine to me. How about the commit message for your below patch:

x86/perf/core: Add pebs_capable to store valid PEBS_COUNTER_MASK value

The value of pebs_counter_mask will be accessed frequently
for repeated use in the intel_guest_get_msrs(). So it can be
optimized instead of endlessly mucking about with branches.
