The third nybble of AMD's event select overlaps with Intel's IN_TX and

We already have pmu->reserved_bits as the first wall to check "can't use".


Declare a raw_event_mask in the kvm_pmu structure, initialize it in
the vendor-specific pmu_refresh() functions, and use that mask for
PERF_TYPE_RAW configurations in reprogram_gp_counter().

Fixes: 710c47651431 ("KVM: x86/pmu: Use AMD64_RAW_EVENT_MASK for PERF_TYPE_RAW")

Is it really a fix ?

No, it's not, so I'm queuing it for 5.18 only.
