[PATCH] KVM: x86/pmu: omit "impossible" Intel counter MSRs from MSR list
From: Like Xu

According to Intel April 2022 SDM - Table 2-2. IA-32 Architectural MSRs,
combined with the address reservation ranges of PERFCTRx, EVENTSELy, and
MSR_IA32_PMCz, the theoretical effective maximum value of the Intel GP
counters is 14, instead of 18:
14 = 0xE = min (
0xE = IA32_CORE_CAPABILITIES (0xCF) - IA32_PMC0 (0xC1),
0xF = IA32_OVERCLOCKING_STATUS (0x195) - IA32_PERFEVTSEL0 (0x186),
0xF = IA32_MCG_EXT_CTL (0x4D0) - IA32_A_PMC0 (0x4C1)
)
the source of the incorrect number may be:
18 = 0x12 = IA32_PERF_STATUS (0x198) - IA32_PERFEVTSEL0 (0x186)
but the range covers IA32_OVERCLOCKING_STATUS, which is also architectural.
Cut the list to 14 entries to avoid false positives.
