Changes:
v3 -> v4:
* Fix the new found issue that pmu_counter_t.config crosses cache
lines (patch 04)
* Fix the cycles event false positive by introducing a warm-up phase
instead of switching cycles events order in v3 (patch 07)
* Use macro to replace hard-coded events index (Mingwei)(patches 08~10)
* Simply the asm code to enable/disable GLOBAL_CTRL MSR in whole asm
blob (patch 11)
* Handle legacy CPUs without clflush/clflushopt/IBPB support
(patches 14, 16)
* Optimize emulated instruction validation (patch 17)
All changes pass validation on Intel Sapphire Rapids and Emerald Rapids
platforms against latest kvm-x86/next code (2d181d84af38). No tests on
AMD platforms since no AMD platform on hand. Any tests on AMD platform
are appreciated.
