Update 'kvm-hv-pmu.c' to add five new perf-events mapped to the five
Hostwide counters. Since these newly introduced perf events are at system
wide scope and can be read from any L1-Lpar CPU, 'kvmppc_pmu' scope and
capabilities are updated appropriately.
Also introduce two new helpers. First is kvmppc_update_l0_stats() that uses
the infrastructure introduced in previous patches to issues the
H_GUEST_GET_STATE hcall L0-PowerVM to fetch guest-state-buffer holding the
latest values of these counters which is then parsed and 'l0_stats'
variable updated.
Second helper is kvmppc_pmu_event_update() which is called from
'kvmppv_pmu' callbacks and uses kvmppc_update_l0_stats() to update
'l0_stats' and the update the 'struct perf_event's event-counter.
Some minor updates to kvmppc_pmu_{add, del, read}() to remove some debug
scaffolding code.

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 reStructuredText 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.
