Palik, Imre 2c33645d36 perf/x86: Honor the architectural performance monitoring version
Architectural performance monitoring, version 1, doesn't support fixed counters.

Currently, even if a hypervisor advertises support for architectural
performance monitoring version 1, perf may still try to use the fixed
counters, as the constraints are set up based on the CPU model.

This patch ensures that perf honors the architectural performance monitoring
version returned by CPUID, and it only uses the fixed counters for version 2
and above.

(Some of the ideas in this patch came from Peter Zijlstra.)
