SBI v3.0 specification[1] added two new improvements to the PMU chaper.
The SBI v3.0 specification is frozen and under public review phase as
per the RISC-V International guidelines.
1. Added an additional get_event_info function to query event availablity
in bulk instead of individual SBI calls for each event. This helps in
improving the boot time.
2. Raw event width allowed by the platform is widened to have 56 bits
with RAW event v2 as per new clarification in the priv ISA[2].
Apart from implementing these new features, this series improves the gpa
range check in KVM and updates the kvm SBI implementation to SBI v3.0.
The opensbi patches have been merged. This series can be found at [3].
