Apply the pre-intercepts RDPMC validity check only to AMD, and rename all
relevant functions to make it as clear as possible that the check is not a
standard PMC index check. On Intel, the basic rule is that only invalid
opcodes and privilege/permission/mode checks have priority over VM-Exit,
i.e. RDPMC with an invalid index should VM-Exit, not #GP. While the SDM
doesn't explicitly call out RDPMC, it _does_ explicitly use RDMSR of a
non-existent MSR as an example where VM-Exit has priority over #GP, and
RDPMC is effectively just a variation of RDMSR.
Manually testing on various Intel CPUs confirms this behavior, and the
inverted priority was introduced for SVM compatibility, i.e. was not an
intentional change for Intel PMUs. On AMD, *all* exceptions on RDPMC have
priority over VM-Exit.
Check for a NULL kvm_pmu_ops.check_rdpmc_early instead of using a RET0
static call so as to provide a convenient location to document the
difference between Intel and AMD, and to again try to make it as obvious
as possible that the early check is a one-off thing, not a generic "is
this PMC valid?" helper.

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.
