For the benefit of non-RISCV people, the changelog (and documentation?) should
explain why RISC-V doesn't need to tap into kvm_register_perf_callbacks().
Presumably there's something in the "RISC-V SBI PMU & Sscofpmf ISA extension" spec
that allows hardware to differentiate between events that are for guest vs. host?
