CPU vPMU is now turned ON by default, but this feature wasn't introduced until virt-2.7 machine type. To solve this problem, this patch adds a PMU option in machine state, which is used to control CPU's vPMU status. This PMU option is not exposed to command line and is turned off in virt-2.6 machine type.
