I think we can just update this mask unconditionally to allow the new bits.

nit: please call this "pmsver" to align with the architecture (where
"pmuver" means something else).

As I said above, you can drop this and just update the #define.

Same here.

There's no need for this. If userspace finds this information useful, then
we should expose it in sysfs, like we do for other PMU paramaters. If
userspace doesn't find it useful, then there's no need to expose it at all.

So I would suggest adding something like SPE_PMU_CAP_PMSVER and exposing the
field on a per-SPE-PMU basis in sysfs.

big.LITTLE should work as before, where we expose a completely separate PMU
instance for each CPU type.
