Add a common helper for *internal* PMC lookups, and delete the ops hook and Intel's implementation. Keep AMD's implementation, but rename it to amd_pmu_get_pmc() to make it somewhat more obvious that it's suited for both KVM-internal and guest-initiated lookups. Because KVM tracks all counters in a single bitmap, getting a counter when iterating over a bitmap, e.g. of all valid PMCs, requires a small amount of math, that while simple, isn't super obvious and doesn't use the same semantics as PMC lookups from RDPMC! Although AMD doesn't support fixed counters, the common PMU code still behaves as if there a split, the high half of which just happens to always be empty. Opportunstically add a comment to explain both what is going on, and why KVM uses a single bitmap, e.g. the boilerplate for iterating over separate bitmaps could be done via macros, so it's not (just) about deduplicating 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 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.
