[PATCH v1] arm/kvm: Enable support for KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_FILTER

[Shaoqin Huang <shahuang@redhat.com>]

The KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_FILTER provide the ability to let the VMM decide
which PMU events are provided to the guest. Add a new option
`pmu-filter` as -accel sub-option to set the PMU Event Filtering.

The `pmu-filter` has such format:

  pmu-filter="{A,D}:start-end[;{A,D}:start-end...]"

The A means "allow" and D means "deny", start if the first event of the
range and the end is the last one. For example:

  pmu-filter="A:0x11-0x11;A:0x23-0x3a,D:0x30-0x30"

This will allow event 0x11 (The cycle counter), events 0x23 to 0x3a is
also allowed except the event 0x30 is denied, and all the other events
are disallowed.

Here is an real example shows how to use the PMU Event Filtering, when
we launch a guest by use kvm, add such command line:

  # qemu-system-aarch64 \
	-accel kvm,pmu-filter="D:0x11-0x11"

And then in guest, use the perf to count the cycle:

  # perf stat sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':

              1.22 msec task-clock                       #    0.001 CPUs utilized
                 1      context-switches                 #  820.695 /sec
                 0      cpu-migrations                   #    0.000 /sec
                55      page-faults                      #   45.138 K/sec
   <not supported>      cycles
           1128954      instructions
            227031      branches                         #  186.323 M/sec
              8686      branch-misses                    #    3.83% of all branches

       1.002492480 seconds time elapsed

       0.001752000 seconds user
       0.000000000 seconds sys

As we can see, the cycle counter has been disabled in the guest, but
other pmu events are still work.
