KVM: x86/pmu: Treat "fixed" PMU type in RDPMC as index as a value, not flag
Refactor KVM's handling of ECX for RDPMC to treat the FIXED modifier as an explicit value, not a flag (minus one wart). While non-architectural PMUs do use bit 31 as a flag (for "fast" reads), architectural PMUs use the upper half of ECX to encode the type. From the SDM: ECX[31:16] specifies type of PMC while ECX[15:0] specifies the index of the PMC to be read within that type Note, that the known supported types are 4000H and 2000H, i.e. look a lot like flags, doesn't contradict the above statement that ECX[31:16] holds the type, at least not by any sane reading of the SDM. Keep the explicitly clearing of the FIXED "flag", as KVM subtly relies on that behavior to disallow unsupported types while allowing the correct indices for fixed counters. This wart will be cleaned up in short order. Opportunistically grab the per-type bitmask in the if-else blocks to eliminate the one-off usage of the local "fixed" bool.
