Add a helper to check of the guest PMU has PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL, which is unintuitive _and_ diverges from Intel's architecturally defined behavior. Even worse, KVM currently implements the check using two different, but equivalent checksand , _and_ there has been at least one attempt to add a _third_ flavor.
