I just looked at v5. IMO, much of what I proposed above still makes
sense, since what I'm proposing is that the relationship between
RISCV_KVM_MAX_HW_CTRS, RISCV_KVM_MAX_FW_CTRS, RISCV_MAX_COUNTERS, and 64
(our current max bitmap size) be explicitly checked. So, even if we want
RISCV_KVM_MAX_FW_CTRS to be SBI_PMU_FW_MAX, it'd be good to have

#define RISCV_KVM_MAX_HW_CTRS  32

(And a runtime check confirming num_hw_ctrs + 1 <= RISCV_KVM_MAX_HW_CTRS,
 and then either silently capping or issuing a warning and capping)

And, to be sure the sum of RISCV_KVM_MAX_FW_CTRS and RISCV_KVM_MAX_HW_CTRS
doesn't exceed the size of the bitmap

#define RISCV_KVM_MAX_FW_CTRS	SBI_PMU_FW_MAX
#define RISCV_MAX_COUNTERS	(RISCV_KVM_MAX_HW_CTRS + RISCV_KVM_MAX_FW_CTRS)
static_assert(RISCV_MAX_COUNTERS <= 64)
