Since CPUID_7_0_EDX_ARCH_LBR will be masked off if pmu is disabled,
there's no need to check CPUID_7_0_EDX_ARCH_LBR feature with pmu.

Could you help write a patch to move the initialization-to-0 operation out to the switch() handling as the common first handling. So that each case doesn't need to set them to 0 individually.

Not the fault of this series. I think just presenting what KVM returns to guest (i.e., directly passthrough) isn't correct. Once leaf 0x1c gets more bits defined and KVM starts to support and report them, then the bits presented to guest get changed automatically between different KVM.

the leaf 0x1c needs to be configurable and QEMU needs to ensure the same configuration outputs the constant result of leaf 0x1c, to ensure safe migration.

It's not urgent though. KVM doesn't even support ArchLBR yet.
