[RFC PATCH 13/14] KVM: arm64: Advertise 0 event counters for IMPDEF PMU

The programmable event counters on Apple M* parts are quite different
from what's available in PMUv3, as the event counters aren't fungible
(some events only work on specific counters) and the event ID space
doesn't match the architecture.
