I think I'm slightly late to the party reviewing what appears to be my
own code :)

I think this could be easier to work with if it were [PERF_MSR_TSC] =
{...}, etc.  No big deal, though, until the list gets long.  However,
it might make fixing the apparent issue below easier...

Shouldn't this verify that the fancy enumeration code actually
believes that msr[cfg] exists on this system?  Otherwise we might have
a very short wait until the perf fuzzer oopses this thing :)
