A small suggestion (optional). It might be cleaner to define a macro and
use it here. Something like in arm_pmu.h :
#define VCPU_TO_PMU(vcpu) (&(vcpu)->arch.pmu)

The select_idx is from PMSELR_EL0. According to PMUv3 spec, PMSELR_EL0
is the register that "selects the current event counter PMEVCNTR<x> or
the cycle counter, CCNT". The code here always reads the counter value
from PMEVCNTR. It doesn't read the value from cycle counter when
select_idx=0b11111. We might waste some perf counter resources here.
