This is fine for this single test, but I was actually thinking we'd
implement both the 32-bit and 64-bit accessors separately, allowing
us to add an additional test that tries both on AArch32 (PMUv3). I.e.
report_prefix_push("pmccntr");
report("32-bit read", pmccntr_read() != 0); /* test mrc access */
if (pmu_version == 0x3) {
u64 cntr64 = pmccntr_read64(); /* test mrrc access */
report("64-bit read", (cntr64 >> 32) == 0 && (u32)cntr64 != 0);
} else {
report_skip("64-bit read, PMUv3 required");
}
We can refactor when we add that test later though.

These last two register writes are specific to the cycle count test, so
I don't think they belong in a common pmu_init function. I'd keep them
at the top of check_cycles_increase.
