This ioctl restricts the set of PMU events that the guest can program.
The argument holds a list of events which will be allowed or denied.
The eventsel+umask of each event the guest attempts to program is compared
against the events field to determine whether the guest should have access.
-This only affects general purpose counters; fixed purpose counters can
-be disabled by changing the perfmon CPUID leaf.
+The events field only controls general purpose counters; fixed purpose
+counters are controlled by the fixed_counter_bitmap.
+
+No flags are defined yet, the field must be zero.
Valid values for 'action':
#define KVM_PMU_EVENT_ALLOW 0
