Until there is publicly available documentation, I am not going to review this
any further. This goes for all new features, e.g. PerfMonv2[*]. I understand
the need and desire to get code merged far in advance of hardware being available,
but y'all clearly have specs, i.e. this is a very solvable problem. Throw all the
disclaimers you want on the specs to make it abundantly clear that they are for
preview purposes or whatever, but reviewing KVM code without a spec just doesn't
work for me.
