If vPMC index doesn't exist on host,
for basic counter, this doesn't matter as KVM still get host counter for it.
for pebs, this will disable guest pebs.
Is this right? Any other reasons ?
So here we'd better get entry->ecx from host, so that guest and host will have the same fixed counter bitmap, this means we will extend perf_get_x86_pmu_capability(&kvm_pmu_cap).
