Update the documentation for the KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER ioctl to include a detailed description of how fixed performance events are handled in the pmu filter. The action and fixed_counter_bitmap members of the pmu filter to determine whether fixed performance events can be programmed by the guest. This information is helpful for correctly configuring the fixed_counter_bitmap and action fields to filter fixed performance events.

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.
