This started out as a simple change to sort the (up to 300 element) PMU filtered event list and to use binary search rather than linear search to see if an event is in the list. I thought it would be nice to add a directed test for the PMU event filter, and that's when things got complicated. The Intel side was fine, but the AMD side was a bit ugly, until I did a few refactorings. Imagine my dismay when I discovered that the PMU event filter works fine on the AMD side, but that fundamental PMU virtualization is broken. And I don't just mean erratum 1292, though that throws even more brokenness into the mix. v1 -> v2 * Drop the check for "AMDisbetter!" in is_amd_cpu() [David Dunn] * Drop the call to cpuid(0, 0) that fed the original check for CPU vendor string "AuthenticAMD" in vm_compute_max_gfn(). * Simplify the inline asm in the selftest by using the compound literal for both input & output.
