Before adaptive PEBS v4, the PEBS record format is not determined by
MSR_PEBS_DATA_CFG, but by IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES.PEBS_FMT[11:8] (< 4),
which is not covered by this unit test.
We don't want additional implementation to support such legacy
platforms, instead, we can exclude them from the test to avoid test
failures.
Technically, it seems checking IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES.PEBS_BASELINE[14]
is more reasonable. But this bit is not exposed to the guest in the
current KVM emulated vPMU implementation, and if we use it as a filter,
it will filter out all platforms.
