How do we know that i < size? For example, Ice Lake supports 4 fixed
counters, but fixed_pmc_events only has three entries.

We don't, and it's a preexisting bug in intel_pmu_refresh.  Either we hack around it like

diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/pmu_intel.c b/arch/x86/kvm/vmx/pmu_intel.c

 	} else {

 		edx.split.bit_width_fixed = min_t(int,
 			edx.split.bit_width_fixed, x86_pmu.bit_width_fixed);
 		pmu->counter_bitmask[KVM_PMC_FIXED] =

or we modify find_fixed_event and its caller to support PERF_TYPE_RAW
counters, and then add support for the IceLake TOPDOWN.SLOTS fixed
counter.

What's your preference?
