[PATCH v8 18/22] RISC-V: perf: Add Qemu virt machine events

From: Atish Patra <atishp at rivosinc.com>
Qemu virt machine supports a very minimal set of legacy perf events.
Add them to the vendor table so that users can use them when
counter delegation is enabled.
Qemu is identified by its marchid. Older Qemu reports all-zero
mvendorid/marchid/mimpid, while newer Qemu reports the marchid 0x2a (42)
allocated to it in the RISC-V ISA manual [1]. Register the events for
both ids so they are available across Qemu versions.
