The generic unions are hopefully unnecessary now that helpers are provided by
lib/x86/processor.h, e.g. for pmu_version().

I would prefer to have similar helpers instead of "union perf_capabilities",
but it's not a sticking point if helpers a signifiantly more painful to use.

Split these up, it's really, really annoying to have to guess which one of the
four checks failed.

+		report_skip("This platform doesn't support guest PEBS.");

This needs be be "return report_summary()", otherwise the test says pass when it
didn't do anyting:

  TESTNAME=pmu_pebs TIMEOUT=90s ACCEL=kvm ./x86/run x86/pmu_pebs.flat -smp 1 -cpu host,migratable=no
  PASS pmu_pebs

wait a second...

   SKIP: This platform doesn't support guest PEBS.

E.g. (though if KUT can provide more information on why PERF_CAP_PEBS_FORMAT
may not be advertised, e.g. requires ICX+?, that would be nice to have)

         if (!is_intel()) {
                 report_skip("PEBS is only supported on Intel CPUs");
                 return report_summary();
         }
         if (pmu_version() < 2) {
                 report_skip("Architectural PMU not available");
                 return report_summary();
         }
         if (!(perf.capabilities & PERF_CAP_PEBS_FORMAT)) {
                 report_skip("PEBS not enumerated in PERF_CAPABILITIES");
                 return report_summary();
         }
         if (rdmsr(MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE) & MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_PEBS_UNAVAIL) {
                 report_skip("PEBS unavailable according to MISC_ENABLE");
                 return report_summary();
         }

Thanks, all applied. Please review this new version as a separate thread.
