For unimplemented counters, the registers PM{C,I}NTEN{SET,CLR}
and PMOVS{SET,CLR} are expected to have the corresponding bits RAZ.
Hence to ensure correct KVM's PMU emulation, mask out the RES0 bits.
Defer this work to the point that userspace can no longer change the
number of advertised PMCs.

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.
