Add missing scaffolding to enable BusLock Threshold. That is:

  * Add general_intercepts_3.
  * Add missing VMEXIT
  * Adjust NPF perf counter base to immediately after the buslock counter

v2:
  * s/general intercepts 2/general intercepts 3/
  * removed _thresh suffix
  * added missing _svm_ infix in the SVM feature
