[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/1] target/arm: clear PMUVER field of AA64DFR0 when vPMU=off

[Wei Huang <wei@redhat.com>]

The PMUv3 driver of linux kernel (in arch/arm64/kernel/perf_event.c)
relies on the PMUVER field of id_aa64dfr0_el1 to decide if PMU support
is present or not. This patch clears the PMUVER field under TCG mode
when vPMU=off. Without it, PMUv3 will init insider guest VMs even
with vPMU=off. This patch also removes a redundant line inside the
if-statement.
