Setting 'pmu' does not make sense for CPU types emulating physical
CPUs.

This doesn't seem right. In general where we provide a
user-facing -cpu foo,bar=off option we allow the user to
use it to disable the bar feature on named CPUs too.
So you can use it to say "give me a neoverse-v1 without the PMU".

thanks
