[kvm-unit-tests Patch v4 00/17] pmu test bugs fix and improvements

[Dapeng Mi]

Changes:
v3 -> v4:
  * Fix the new found issue that pmu_counter_t.config crosses cache 
    lines (patch 04)
  * Fix the cycles event false positive by introducing a warm-up phase
    instead of switching cycles events order in v3 (patch 07)
  * Use macro to replace hard-coded events index (Mingwei)(patches 08~10)
  * Simply the asm code to enable/disable GLOBAL_CTRL MSR in whole asm
    blob (patch 11)
  * Handle legacy CPUs without clflush/clflushopt/IBPB support 
    (patches 14, 16)
  * Optimize emulated instruction validation (patch 17)

All changes pass validation on Intel Sapphire Rapids and Emerald Rapids
platforms against latest kvm-x86/next code (2d181d84af38). No tests on
AMD platforms since no AMD platform on hand. Any tests on AMD platform
are appreciated.
