Now that Intel PT supports more types of trace content than just branch tracing, it may be useful to allow the user to disable branch tracing when it is not needed. The special case is BDW, where not setting BranchEn is not supported. This is slightly trickier than necessary, because up to this moment the driver has been setting BranchEn automatically and the userspace assumes as much. Instead of reversing the semantics of BranchEn, we introduce a 'passthrough' bit, which will forego the default and allow the user to set BranchEn to their heart's content.
