[PATCH 0/9] KVM: arm64: PMU: Fixing chained events, and PMUv3p5 support

Ricardo recently reported[1] that our PMU emulation was busted when it
comes to chained events, as we cannot expose the overflow on a 32bit
boundary (which the architecture requires).

This series aims at fixing this (by deleting a lot of code), and as a
bonus adds support for PMUv3p5, as this requires us to fix a few more
things.

Tested on A53 (PMUv3) and FVP (PMUv3p5).
