Ok... Now your changes are starting to make sense. This patch is rather
relevant context for interpreting the other PMU fix [*], so I'd
recommend you send this as a combined series going forward.

nit: Give this thing a more generic name (e.g. kvm_pmu_init()) in case
we wind up needing more boot-time PMU initialization.
