Thanks for respinning the series, I left some comments. I'd really like
to get this feature picked up, hope you have cycles to work on it soon.

FWIW, we're considering adding a new vCPU feature flag to deprecate all
the ugliness of the old PMUv3 UAPI. I'm tempted to say that the
FIXED_COUNTERS_ONLY feature is conditioned on the new feature flag...
