According to CPUID 0x0A.EBX bit vector, the event [7] should be the
unrealized event "Topdown Slots" instead of the *kernel* generalized
common hardware event "REF_CPU_CYCLES", so we need to skip the cpuid
unavaliblity check in the intel_pmc_perf_hw_id() for the last
REF_CPU_CYCLES event and update the confusing comment.
If the event is marked as unavailable in the Intel guest CPUID
0AH.EBX leaf, we need to avoid any perf_event creation, whether
it's a gp or fixed counter. To distinguish whether it is a rejected
event or an event that needs to be programmed with PERF_TYPE_RAW type,
a new special returned value of "PERF_COUNT_HW_MAX + 1" is introduced.

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.
