Disallow enabling LBR support if the CPU supports architectural LBRs.
Traditional LBR support is absent on CPU models that have architectural
LBRs, and KVM doesn't yet support arch LBRs, i.e. KVM will pass through
non-existent MSRs if userspace enables LBRs for the guest.

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.
