x86/VPMU: support only versions 2 through 4 of architectural performance monitoring
We need to have at least version 2 since it's the first version to
support various control and status registers (such as
MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL) that VPMU relies on always having.
We don't fully emulate version 4 but since it's back compatible with
earlier versions we can fall back to v3. At this point there is no
compatibility statement for v5 so anything above 4 is not supported.
For guests querying PMU version via CPUID leaf 0xa clip it at v3.
With explicit testing for PMU version we can now remove CPUID model
check.
