But "n" will definitely be bigger than that in case of an extended
event, won't it? So you adjust "reg" accordingly, but miss to do
something similar to "n"?

Well, AFAICS KVM doesn't filter PMCEIDn, right? So some basic checks are
surely fine, but I wouldn't go crazy about checking every possible
aspect of it. After all you would just check the hardware, as we pass
this register on.
