Refine the macros which define maximum General Purpose (GP) and fixed counter numbers. Currently the macro KVM_INTEL_PMC_MAX_GENERIC is used to represent the maximum supported General Purpose (GP) counter number ambiguously across Intel and AMD platforms. This would cause issues if AMD begins to support more GP counters than Intel. Thus a bunch of new macros including vendor specific and vendor independent are introduced to replace the old macros. The vendor independent macros are used in x86 common code to hide vendor difference and eliminate the ambiguity. No logic changes are introduced in this patch.

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.
