perf/x86/intel: Add EPT-Friendly PEBS for Ice Lake Server
Add support for EPT-Friendly PEBS, a new CPU feature that enlightens PEBS to translate guest linear address through EPT, and facilitates handling VM-Exits that occur when accessing PEBS records. More information can be found in the December 2021 release of Intel's SDM, Volume 3, 18.9.5 "EPT-Friendly PEBS". This new hardware facility makes sure the guest PEBS records will not be lost, which is available on Intel Ice Lake Server platforms (and later). KVM will check this field through perf_get_x86_pmu_capability() instead of hard coding the CPU models in the KVM code. If it is supported, the guest PEBS capability will be exposed to the guest. Guest PEBS can be enabled when and only when "EPT-Friendly PEBS" is supported and EPT is enabled.
