[RFC PATCH 17/18] KVM: arm64: Provide 1 event counter on IMPDEF hardware

[Oliver Upton]

PMUv3 requires that all programmable event counters are capable of
counting any event. The Apple M* PMU is quite a bit different, and
events have affinities for particular PMCs.

Expose 1 event counter on IMPDEF hardware, allowing the guest to do
something useful with its PMU while also upholding the requirements of
the architecture.

Jury is still out on whether we want to do this, which is why this patch
is RFC.
