[kvm-unit-tests patch v6 00/18] pmu test bugs fix and improvements

[Dapeng Mi <dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>]

Changes:
v5 -> v6:
  * limit maximum fixed counters number to 
    MIN(pmu.nr_fixed_counters, ARRAY_SIZE(fixed_events)) to avoid
    out-of-bound access for fixed_events[]. If supported fixed counters
    number is larger than array size of fixed_events[], print message to
    remind to update test case. (Jim)
  * limit instructions & branches events precise validation for only
    Intel processors. (Sandipan Das)

KUT/pmu test passes on Intel Sapphire Rapids platform.
