On KVM side. we save the host PMU CSRs into structure kvm_context.
If the host supports the PMU feature. When entering guest mode.
we save the host PMU CSRs and restore the guest PMU CSRs.


I suggest to reconsider the usage of a few dots in such a wording approach.

Got  it,  thank for you suggestion.
* How do you think about to avoid the repetition of version identifiers here?
I'm new to this, is the following example correct?

v4:
  - Use the macro kvm_read_clear_hw_gcsr to optimize the code
    and remove redundant code.

V3:
  - When saving the PMU context, clear the CTRL register
     before reading the CNTR register.
  - Put kvm_lose_pmu() in kvm_handler_exit().

v2:
  - Add new vcpu->request flag KVM_REQ_PMU. If we use PMU,
    We need to set this flag;
  - Add kvm_check_pmu() to kvm_pre_enter_guest();
  - On _kvm_setcsr(), after modifying the PMU CSR register value,
     if we use PMU, we need to set KVM_REQ_PMU.
