The filter name is fixed to "exit_reason" for some kvm_exit events, no
matter what architect we have. Actually, the filter name ("exit_reason")
is only applicable to x86, meaning it's broken on other architects
including aarch64.
This fixes the issue by providing various kvm_exit filter names, depending
on architect we're on. Afterwards, the variable filter name is picked and
applied through ioctl(fd, SET_FILTER).

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.
