CPU vPMU is now turned off by default, but it was ON in virt-2.7 machine type. To solve this problem, this patch adds a PMU option in machine state, which is used to control CPU's vPMU status. This PMU option is not exposed to command line and is turned on in virt-2.7 machine type to make sure it is backward compatible.
