[    0.285136] Performance Events: AMD PMU driver.

I'm a little confused. wWhen no perfctr-core, AMD PMU driver can still be probed? (forgive me if I ask a silly question)

However, the guest CPUID indicates the PerfMonV2 is still available.

CPU:
    Extended Performance Monitoring and Debugging (0x80000022):
       AMD performance monitoring V2         = true
       AMD LBR V2                            = false
       AMD LBR stack & PMC freezing          = false
       number of core perf ctrs              = 0x6 (6)
       number of LBR stack entries           = 0x0 (0)
       number of avail Northbridge perf ctrs = 0x0 (0)
       number of available UMC PMCs          = 0x0 (0)
       active UMCs bitmask                   = 0x0

Disable PerfMonV2 in CPUID when PERFCORE is disabled.

Though I have above confusion of the description, the change itself looks good to me. So
