There are 2 defines for the number of PMU counters: ARMV8_PMU_MAX_COUNTERS and ARMPMU_MAX_HWEVENTS. Both are the same currently, but Armv9.4/8.9 increases the number of possible counters from 32 to 33. With this change, the maximum number of counters will differ for KVM's PMU emulation which is PMUv3.4. Give KVM PMU emulation its own define to decouple it from the rest of the kernel's number PMU counters. The VHE PMU code needs to match the PMU driver, so switch it to use ARMPMU_MAX_HWEVENTS instead.

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.
