How about we make this here clear FEATURE_ARCH_LBR if it fails and then
do away with x86_pmu.arch_lbr and use
static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_ARCH_LBR) a lot more?

Yes, it's doable. So we can save a bit for arch_lbr in structure x86_pmu.

I will clear the FEATURE_ARCH_LBR via clear_cpu_cap(&boot_cpu_data, X86_FEATURE_ARCH_LBR);, if the check fails.
I will replace x86_pmu.arch_lbr with static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_ARCH_LBR) everywhere.

Thanks,
