There's no reason for this to be a per-PMU field, it's only ever used in
kvm_passthrough_pmu_handle_event().

Huh. Why do we call the existing helper kvm_pmu_handle_event()? It's not handling
an event, it's reprogramming counters.
Can you add a patch to clean that up? It doesn't matter terribly with the existing
code, but once kvm_handle_guest_pmi() exists, the name becomes quite confusing,
e.g. I was expecting this to be the handler for guest PMIs.

I don't love the "incremented_pmc_idx" name. It's specifically for emulated
events, that should ideally be clear in the name.
And does the tracking the emulated counters actually buy anything? Iterating
over all PMCs and checking emulated_counter doesn't seem like it'd be measurably
slow, especially not when this path is likely writing multiple MSRs.
Wait, why use that and not reprogram_pmi?

kvm_passthrough_pmu_incr_counter() is *super* misleading. (a) it's not an
"increment" in standard x86 and kernel terminology, which is "Increment by 1",
and (b) it's not actually bumping the count, it's simply moving an *already*
incremented count from emulated_count to the pmc->counter.
To avoid bikeshedding, and because boolean returns are no fun, just open code it.
if (!pmc->emulated_counter)
continue;
pmc->counter += pmc->emulated_counter;
pmc->emulated_counter = 0;
pmc->counter &= pmc_bitmask(pmc);
/* comment goes here */
if (pmc->counter)
continue;
if (pmc->eventsel & ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL_INT)
kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_PMI, vcpu);
pmu->global_status |= BIT_ULL(pmc->idx);

This seems like a detail that belongs in the PMU code. E.g. if we get to a point
where the two PMU flavors can share code (and I think we can/show), then there's
no need or desire for two separate APIs.
