    Like Xu authored
    Use static calls to improve kvm_pmu_ops performance, following the same
    pattern and naming scheme used by kvm-x86-ops.h.
    
    Here are the worst fenced_rdtsc() cycles numbers for the kvm_pmu_ops
    functions that is most often called (up to 7 digits of calls) when running
    a single perf test case in a guest on an ICX 2.70GHz host (mitigations=on):
