Blergh, I know KVM is a module but it really sucks having to export
everything :/

Do we need a negative number of LBR entries?

These are all MSR values, that can be 'unsigned int', right? If so,
please also fix struct x86_pmu for that.

I would like to use the x86_perf namespace or something along those
lines, this is very much not a generic perf interface -- it is very much
x86 (or rather even Intel) specific.
