COMM events are not generated in the context of a guest machine, so the
thread name is never set for the VMM process. For example, the qemu-kvm
name applies to the process in the host machine, not the guest machine.
So, samples for guest machines are currently displayed as:
99.67% :5671 [unknown] [g] 0xffffffff81366b41
where 5671 is the pid of the VMM. With this patch the samples in the guest
machine are shown as:
18.43% [guest/5671] [unknown] [g] 0xffffffff810d68b7
