Oliver Upton f90f9360c3 KVM: arm64: Rewrite IMPDEF PMU version as NI
KVM allows userspace to write an IMPDEF PMU version to the corresponding
32bit and 64bit ID register fields for the sake of backwards
compatibility with kernels that lacked commit 3d0dba5764 ("KVM: arm64:
PMU: Move the ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUver limit to VM creation"). Plumbing
that IMPDEF PMU version through to the gues is getting in the way of
progress, and really doesn't any sense in the first place.

Bite the bullet and reinterpret the IMPDEF PMU version as NI (0) for
userspace writes. Additionally, spill the dirty details into a comment.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
