Add support for AMD Core Performance counters in the guest. The base event select and counter MSRs are changed. In addition, with the core extension, there are 2 extra counters available for performance measurements for a total of 6. With the new MSRs, the logic to map them to the gp_counters[] is changed. New functions are added to check the validity of the get/set MSRs. If the guest has the X86_FEATURE_PERFCTR_CORE cpuid flag set, the number of counters available to the vcpu is set to 6. It the flag is not set then it is 4.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
