If you don't want that effect, do not enable host-guest mode.  The
default is "off" in fact.

I agree that it would be better to inform the host, but I think it's
acceptable to proceed with these patches since the mode is strictly opt
in (kvm_intel.pt_mode=1).  Perfect is the enemy of good, and I'd like to
get the "boring" code in first.

Luwei, can you document this in patch 4 as requested by Alexander?

Thanks,

Paolo
