For PMUv3, the register MDCR_EL2.HPMN partitiones the PMU counters into two ranges where counters 0..HPMN-1 are accessible by EL1 and, if allowed, EL0 while counters HPMN..N are only accessible by EL2.
Introduce a module parameter in the PMUv3 driver to set this register. The name reserved_guest_counters reflects the intent to reserve some counters for the guest so they may eventually be allowed direct access to a subset of PMU functionality for increased performance.
Track HPMN and whether the pmu is partitioned in struct arm_pmu.
While FEAT_HPMN0 does allow HPMN to be set to 0, this patch specifically disallows that case because it's not useful given the intention to allow guests access to their own counters.

You're storing the same information 3 times. 'partitioned' is just 'reserved_guest_counters != 0' or 'cpu_pmu->hpmn != pmcr_n'.

Module params are generally discouraged. Since this driver can't be a module, this is a boot time only option. There's little reason this can't be a sysfs setting. There's some complexity in changing this when counters are in use (just reject the change) and when we have asymmetric PMUs. Alternatively, it could be a sysctl like user access.
