FEAT_SPEv1p4 (optional from Armv8.8) adds some new filter bits, so
remove them from the previous version's RES0 bits using
PMSEVFR_EL1_RES0_V1P4_EXCL. It also makes some previously available bits
unavailable again, so add those back using PMSEVFR_EL1_RES0_V1P4_INCL.
E.g:

   E[30], bit [30]
   When FEAT_SPEv1p4 is _not_ implemented ...

FEAT_SPE_V1P3 has the same filters as V1P2 so explicitly add it to the
switch.

See my reply [1] to Leo about this function, but I think we should just
remove it.

We're only refusing filters that we know for sure are RES0. Unless there's a mistake, the ones that are maybes are still up to userspace to decide whether it wants to use them or not.

I think it could be quite useful for some automated tool to fall back to another behavior if it needs an event that isn't implemented.

If they were _all_ defined as maybes like "When FEAT_SPEv1p4 is implemented or filtering on event 2 is optionally supported" then I would agree it's not definite enough to bother restricting them. But a lot of them are known for sure like "When FEAT_SPEv1p4 is not implemented ...", so I don't see the harm in preventing use of those.

Or as I mentioned in the other thread if we think we can probe the valid filters that would be even better.

Thanks
James
