If KVM "trusts" user-space, then check with guest cpuid is OK.
But if user-space enable excessive controls, then check against guest
cpuid could make things mess.

Then I think it makes more sense to check against x86_pmu.lbr_xxx masks in above function
for compatibility. What do you think of it?

OK, will add it.

No, I didn't enable nested Arch LBR but unblocked some issues for nested case.
