perf doesn't seem to honour the number of fixed counters specified by CPUID leaf 0xa. It always assumes that Intel CPUs have at least 3 fixed counters. So if some of the fixed counters are masked out by the hypervisor, it still tries to check/set them. This patch makes perf behave nicer when the kernel is running under a hypervisor that doesn't expose all the counters. This patch contains some ideas from Matt Wilson.
