Magic fairy dust, a.k.a. `make headers_install`.  KVM selftests don't actually
get anything from tools/include/uapi/ or tools/arch/<arch>/include/uapi/, the
only reason the KVM headers are copied there are for perf usage.  And if it weren't
for perf, I'd delete them from tools/, because keeping them in sync is a pain.

To get tools' uapi copies, KVM selftests would need to change its include paths
or change a bunch of #includes to do <uapi/...>.

I don't follow this one.  Commit bef9a701f3eb ("selftests: kvm/x86: Add test for
KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER") added the union definition in pmu_event_filter_test.c/
