Certain PMU-related MSRs are not supported for CPUs with PMU
architecture below version 2. KVM rejects any access to them (see
intel_is_valid_msr_idx routine in KVM), and QEMU fails on the following
assertion:
kvm_put_msrs: Assertion `ret == cpu->kvm_msr_buf->nmsrs' failed.
QEMU also could fail if KVM exposes less fixed counters then 3. It could
happen if host system run inside another hypervisor, which is tweaking
PMU-related CPUID. To prevent possible fail, number of fixed counters now is
obtained in the same way as number of GP counters.
