Last Branch Recording (LBR) is a performance monitor unit (PMU) feature
on Intel CPUs that captures branch related info. This patch series enables
this feature to KVM guests.

Here is a conclusion of the fundamental methods that we use:
1) the LBR feature is enabled per guest via QEMU setting of
   KVM_CAP_X86_GUEST_LBR;
2) the LBR stack is passed through to the guest for direct accesses after
   the guest's first access to any of the lbr related MSRs;
3) the host will help save/resotre the LBR stack when the vCPU is
   scheduled out/in.

ChangeLog:
    - KVM/x86:
        - patch 4: enable guest lbr when guest lbr msr index and host
          lbr msr index matches;
        - patch 5: change kvm_pmu_get_msr to get the msr_data struct;
	- patch 8: remove the PF_VCPU and is_kernel_event check;
	- patch 10:
          - move the lbr virtualization code from vmx.c to pmu_intel.c;
          - save the lbr stack even when the guest is not using the user
            callstack mode in case some tools (e.g. autofdo) complain
            for bogus samples;
        - patch 11: remove the common handling of the debugctl;
        - patch 12: support to report GLOBAL_STATUS_LBRS_FROZEN.
