Enable CONFIG_VPA_PMU with KVM to enable its usage. Currently, the
vpa-pmu driver cannot be used since it is not enabled in distro configs.

On fedora kernel 6.13.7, the config option is disabled:
$ cat /boot/config-6.19.12-200.fc43.ppc64le  | grep VPA_PMU
 # CONFIG_VPA_PMU is not set

That seems like a problem to take up with distros, no?
