Precedence: bulk

Hide fixed counters for which perf is incapable of creating the associated
architectural event.  Except for the so called pseudo-architectural event
for counting TSC reference cycle, KVM virtualizes fixed counters by
creating a perf event for the associated general purpose architectural
event.  If the associated event isn't supported in hardware, KVM can't
actually virtualize the fixed counter because perf will likely not program
up the correct event.

Note, this issue is almost certainly limited to running KVM on a funky
virtual CPU model, no known real hardware has an asymmetric PMU where a
fixed counter is supported but the associated architectural event is not.
