This issue sounds related to Lorenzo Piersali's patch arm64: kernel: fix
PMUv3 registers unconditional access.

As for the status of our TCG PMU patches, unfortunately, last I recall,
I was writing some kvm-unit-tests that Drew wanted me to test against
the KVM PMU, which required real hardware. I got distracted with using
an upstream kernel and a certain distribution on the hardware and have
yet to return.
