+ ======= ====================================================
+
+Set the number of implemented event counters in the virtual PMU. This
+mandates that a PMU has explicitly been selected via
+KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3_SET_PMU, and will fail when no PMU has been
+explicitly selected, or the number of counters is out of range for the
+selected PMU. Selecting a new PMU cancels the effect of setting this
+attribute.
