The function prototype doesn't appear to be right as the
set_user of sys_reg_desc().
---
[From sys_regs.h]
[sys_regs.h]
        int (*set_user)(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, const struct sys_reg_desc *rd,
                        const struct kvm_one_reg *reg, void __user *uaddr);

As mentioned in my comments for the patch-6, the vCPU's PMUVER could
currently be IMP_DEF.  So, with this IMP_DEF checking, a guest with
IMP_DEF PMU cannot be migrated to a newer KVM host.
Do we need to tolerate writes of IMP_DEF for compatibility ?

Oliver originally point this out for my ID register series, and
my V6 or newer series tried to not return an error for this by
ignoring the user requested IMP_DEF when PMU is not enabled for
the vCPU (Instead, the field is set to 0x0).
