With the help of perf_get_hw_event_config(), KVM could query the correct
EVENTSEL_{EVENT, UMASK} pair of a kernel-generic hw event directly from
the different *_perfmon_event_map[] by the kernel's pre-defined perf_hw_id.
Also extend the bit range of the comparison field to
AMD64_RAW_EVENT_MASK_NB to prevent AMD from
defining EventSelect[11:8] into perfmon_event_map[] one day.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
