The existing "has_pmu" was added and only enabled under KVM. So its
existing meaning is a bit misleading. It doesn't address the case of TCG.

I can change it back to "has_pmu" as suggested by you and Drew; but we
need to be careful of using it, especially under TCG mode. For instance,
with "-M virt,accel=tcg -cpu host,pmu=off", we expect PMU is turned off.
But TCG still emulates some PMU counters (e.g. pmccntr).

OK, will address it.
