This might be how the current logic "works", but its straight up broken.
PERF_CTL is thread scope, so unless do
Currently a PV hardware domain can also be given control over the CPU
frequency, and such guest is allowed to write to MSR_IA32_PERF_CTL.
However since commit 322ec7c89f6 the default behavior has been changed
to reject accesses to not explicitly handled MSRs, preventing PV
guests that manage CPU fr
