Remove the IsBranch flag from ENTER and LEAVE in KVM's emulator, as ENTER and LEAVE are stack operations, not branches. Add forced emulation of said instructions to the PMU counters test to prove that KVM diverges from hardware, and to guard against regressions. Opportunistically add a missing "1 MOV" to the selftest comment regarding the number of instructions per loop, which commit7803339fa9("KVM: selftests: Use data load to trigger LLC references/misses in Intel PMU") forgot to add.

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.
