MDCR_EL2.HPMN splits the PMU event counters into two ranges: the first range is accessible from all ELs, and the second range is accessible only to EL2/3. Supposing the guest hypervisor allows direct access to the PMU counters from the L2, KVM needs to locally handle those accesses. Add a new complex trap configuration for HPMN that checks if the counter index is accessible to the current context. As written, the architecture suggests HPMN only causes PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 to trap, though intuition (and the pseudocode) suggest that the trap applies to PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0 as well.

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.
