Patch 1 through 7 add the necessary KVM code for checking and enabling
"load IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL" VM-{exit,entry} controls.
Patch# 8 adds a unit test for the "load IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL" VM-exit
control. I will send a separate patch for the unit test for
"load IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL" VM-entry control.
