In theory it's so that hosts without support for architectural PMU
events can map the architectural PMU events to their own. In practice,
we can probably return early from intel_pmu_refresh if the host does not
support X86_FEATURE_ARCH_PERFMON, because only the oldest Pentium 4
toasters^Wprocessors probably have VMX but lack architectural PMU.
