Why do we need to touch pmscr_el1 at all? The SPE driver should take care of
that, no? If you drop the pmscr_el1 accesses, I think you can drop the
pmbidr_el1 check as well. And actually, then why even check dfr0? Doing the
bic for the mdcr_el1.e2pb bits is harmless.

Doesn't this undo the setting of mdcr_el2.hpmn if SPE is not present or
unavailable? (This wouldn't be an issue if we removed the skip_spe paths
altogether).
