Isn't this going to cause a lot of unnecessary traps with NV? Is that going to be
a problem? Because at the moment I can't think of an elegant way to avoid it,
other than special casing PMCR_EL0 in kvm_reset_sys_regs() and using here
__vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, PMCR_EL0). Or, even better, using
kvm_pmu_valid_counter_mask(vcpu), since this is identical to what that function does.

PMSWINC_EL0 has bit 31 RES0. Other than that, looked at all the PMU registers and
everything looks correct to me.

Thanks,
