The LBR stack MSRs are architecturally specific. The perf subsystem has
already assigned the abstracted MSR values based on the CPU architecture.
This patch enables a caller outside the perf subsystem to get the LBR
stack info. This is useful for hyperviosrs to prepare the lbr feature
for the guest.
