The SDM explicitly states that PEBS Baseline implies Extended PEBS. See
3-19.8 (April 22 edition).

The question is if there is hardware that has Extended PEBS but doesn't
have Baseline; and I simply don't know and was hoping Kan could find
out.

That said; the above patch can be further improved by also removing the
PMU_FL_PEBS_ALL lines, which is already set by intel_ds_init().

In general though; the point is, we shouldn't be doing the FMS table
thing for discoverable features. Having pebs_capable = ~0 and
PMU_FL_PEBS_ALL on something with BASELINE set is just wrong.
