    hwpmc: disable uncore class on Sandy Bridge and newer
    
    It was written for Nehalem and Westmere, with minor but incomplete
    updates for Sandy Bridge in 78d763a29b15. The uncore architecture
    changed significantly with this generation, bringing new layouts and
    locations for some MSRs.
    
    Misprogramming these MSRs in ucp_start_pmc() may panic the system, and
    this is trivially reproducible via pmcstat(8) on at least Broadwell and
    Haswell. Disable the class on these CPUs until it can be updated more
    completely and leave a TODO comment detailing some of the work required.
    Note that the nclasses value for Broadwell was already incorrect and
    doesn't need changing.
    
    The result is that any uncore events listed by pmcstat -L will no longer
    be allocatable, but this is already the case for newer generations of
    Intel CPUs.
