Gah, this WARN fires when the emulator pre-checks RDPMC via emulator_check_pmc()
-> kvm_pmu_is_valid_rdpmc_ecx. I suspect I missed the splat due to split-lock
detection spamming my kernel log (I'm running a sliiiightly old OVMF build).
If this is the only issue with v8, I'll just drop the WARN and the changelog
paragraph when applying.
