I would prefer to break long lines into multiple lines for these comments
(or other comments in these patches), as "Linux kernel coding style"
suggests.

[https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html#breaking-long-lines-and-strings]

The preferred limit on the length of a single line is 80 columns.

Statements longer than 80 columns should be broken into sensible
chunks, unless exceeding 80 columns significantly increases
readability and does not hide information.

It appears that bits[29:26] don't have to be zero depending on
feature availability to the guest (Those bits needs to be zero
only when relevant features are not available on the guest).
So, the expected value must be changed depending on the feature
availability if the test checks those bits.
I have the same comment for the cycle counter.

Perhaps it's worth considering having the helpers for PMC registers
(e.g. write_cntr()) accepting the cycle counter as the index==31
to simplify the test code implementation ?

Thank you,
