[PATCH 0/3] Preparatory perf patches for KVM PMU support

The following three patches pave the way for KVM in-guest performance
monitoring. One is a perf API improvement, another fixes the constraints
for the version 1 architectural PMU (which we will emulate), and the third
adds an export that KVM will use.

Please consider for merging; this will make further work on the KVM PMU
easier.

Avi Kivity (3):
perf: add context field to perf_event
x86, perf: add constraints for architectural PMU v1
perf: export perf_event_refresh() to modules
