+8.35 KVM_CAP_PMU_CAPABILITY
+---------------------------
+
+:Capability KVM_CAP_PMU_CAPABILITY
+:Architectures: x86
+:Type: vm
+
+This capability alters PMU virtualization in KVM.
+
+Calling KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION for this capability returns a bitmask of
+PMU virtualization capabilities that can be adjusted on a VM.
+
+The argument to KVM_ENABLE_CAP is also a bitmask and selects specific
+PMU virtualization capabilities to be applied to the VM.  This can
+only be invoked on a VM prior to the creation of VCPUs.
+
+At this time, KVM_CAP_PMU_DISABLE is the only capability.  Setting
+this capability will disable PMU virtualization for that VM.  When
+PMU virtualization is disabled, CPUID leaf 0xA will always be cleared
+to properly inform Intel guests.
