We're now able to hide PMU registers from the guest when no PMU is
available, but I just realised that we don't do the same thing for
userspace, which is pretty annoying (as it ends up with garbage).
The first patch introduces a visibility callback for all PMU regs,
which applies to both guest and userspace. That's what I should have
done the first place.
The second patch is only a cleanup, now that we are doing the right
thing.
This is a potential fix for 5.11, so shout if you spot something!
Thanks,
M.
