Per Peter:
"Intel PEBS in VT-x context uses the DS address as a guest linear address,
even though its programmed by the host as a host linear address. This
either results in guest memory corruption and or the hardware faulting and
'crashing' the virtual machine. Therefore we have to disable PEBS on VT-x
enter and re-enable on VT-x exit, enforcing a strict exclude_guest.
This patch enforces exclude_guest kernel side.
