Hi Andrew,

Thank you for having a look at this.

KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR for KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_IRQ returns -ENXIO if
CONFIG_KVM_ARM_PMU is not set (in include/kvm/arm_pmu.h).

But I think I understand what you mean, you're referring to
kvm_arm_pmu_v3_get_attr(), which returns -ENXIO if the irq number was not set. I
can change the description to "PMUv3 not supported or the overflow interrupt not
set when attempting to get it", what do you think?

Thanks,
Alex
