In some cases, when probing a perf MSR, we're probing certain bits of the MSR instead of the whole register, thus only these bits should be checked. For example, for RAPL ENERGY_STATUS MSR, only the lower 32 bits represents the energy counter, and the higher 32bits are reserved. Introduce a new mask field in struct perf_msr to allow probing certain bits of a MSR. This change is transparent to the current perf_msr_probe() users.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
