What is the endianness of these values? I can't see it defined
anywhere, and this is likely not to work if guest and hypervisor
don't align.

What is this "NONE" counter?

Same problem as above.

I think having KVM once in the name is enough.

The architecture definitely doesn't have this last counter.
