The lbr stack msrs are model specific. The perf subsystem has already
assigned the abstracted msr address values based on the cpu model.
So add a function to enable callers outside the perf subsystem to get the
lbr stack addresses. This is useful for hypervisors to emulate the lbr
feature for the guest.
