From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> KVM needs to specially configure the event before enabling the event, e.g. set event to assign a dedicated counter and handle auto-reload flags. Set disabled = 1 when allocating the event. So perf will not enable the event by default. Then enable the event explicitly. Previously, the process is creating and enabling. Now, it's creating, KVM configure, and enabling.
