Intel CPUs, like Sapphire Rapids, introduces a new fixed counter

code still doesn't cover this new fixed counter.

So add code to validate this new fixed counter.
Can you explain how this "validates" anything?


I may not describe the sentence clearly. This would validate the fixed counter 3 can count the slots event and get a valid count in a reasonable range. Thanks.
