*sigh* Wrong again (fortunately, I didn't get hit by a meteor). Long story short, I revisited (yet again) how to deal with enabling the mediated PMU. I had been doing almost all of my testing with a hack to force-enable a mediated PMU, and when it came time to rip that out, I just couldn't convince myself that requiring userspace to enable KVM_CAP_PMU_CAPABILITY was the best behavior (I especially hated that PMU support would silently disappear). So, bad news is, v5 isn't happening today. Good news is that I think I figured out a not-awful solution for enabling the mediated PMU. I'll post details (and hopefully v5) tomorrow.
