This patchset adds guest PMU support for KVM on ARM64. It takes
trap-and-emulate approach. When guest wants to monitor one event, it
will be trapped by KVM and KVM will call perf_event API to create a perf
event and call relevant perf_event APIs to get the count value of event.

Use perf to test this patchset in guest. When using "perf list", it
shows the list of the hardware events and hardware cache events perf
supports. Then use "perf stat -e EVENT" to monitor some event. For
example, use "perf stat -e cycles" to count cpu cycles and
"perf stat -e cache-misses" to count cache misses.

Below are the outputs of "perf stat -r 5 sleep 5" when running in host
and guest.

This patchset can be fetched from [1] and the relevant QEMU version for
test can be fetched from [2].

Thanks,

[2] https://git.linaro.org/people/shannon.zhao/qemu.git  PMU_v2

Changes since v2->v3:
* Directly use perf raw event type to create perf_event in KVM
* Add a helper vcpu_sysreg_write
* remove unrelated header file

Changes since v1->v2:
* Use switch...case for registers access handler instead of adding
  alone handler for each register
* Try to use the sys_regs to store the register value instead of adding
  new variables in struct kvm_pmc
* Fix the handle of cp15 regs
* Create a new kvm device vPMU, then userspace could choose whether to
  create PMU
* Fix the handle of PMU overflow interrupt
