A quick survey indicates that it doesn't seem to be the case, I'm
afraid. access_pmu_evtyper() and access_pmcnten() both seem to be
preemptible.
Which probably means that these spots are doing the wrong thing and
that we should instead turn it into a KVM_REQ_RESYNC_PMU_EL0 request.
Then the preemption can be actually dropped, and even replaced by an
assertion.
Thanks,
M.
