  4. v5 [diff vs current]
  5. v9 current
Extend arm64/vpmu_counter_access to run all PMU counter access,
PMCR.N validation, and overflow interrupt tests against both the
emulated vPMU and the Partitioned PMU.

Introduce enum vpmu_impl (EMULATED_VPMU vs. PARTITIONED_VPMU) and thread
it through the test setup helpers to configure
KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_ENABLE_PARTITION and
KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_SET_NR_COUNTERS when testing the Partitioned PMU.

Skip out-of-bounds counter access exception tests when the PMU is
partitioned, as hardware does not guarantee an UNDEFINED exception on
accesses to unimplemented counters.
