This is wrong, it will allow an unchecked wrmsrl() to MSR_ARCH_LBR_DEPTH if
X86_FEATURE_ARCH_LBR is not supported by hardware but userspace forces it in
guest CPUID. 

This the only user of arch_lbr_depth_is_valid(), just open code the logic.

Similar bug here.

Can we just punt this out of kvm/queue until its been properly reviewed?  At the
barest of glances, there are multiple flaws that should block this from being
merged.  Based on the number of checks against X86_FEATURE_ARCH_LBR in KVM, and
my vague recollection of the passthrough behavior, this is a _massive_ feature.

The pr_warn_ratelimited() shouldn't exist; it's better than a non-ratelimited warn,
but it's ultimately useless.

This should check kvm_cpu_has() to ensure the field exists, e.g. if the feature
is supported in hardware but cpu_has_vmx_arch_lbr() returns false for whatever
reason.

	if (!init_event) {
		if (static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_ARCH_LBR))
			vmcs_write64(GUEST_IA32_LBR_CTL, 0);

intel_pmu_lbr_is_enabled() is going to be a performance problem, e.g. _should_ be
gated by static_cpu_has() to avoid overhead on CPUs without arch LBRs, and is
going to incur a _guest_ CPUID lookup on X86_FEATURE_PDCM for every VM-Entry if
arch LBRs are exposed to the guest (at least, I think that's what it does).
