The LBR could be enabled on the guest if host perf supports LBR
(checked via x86_perf_get_lbr()) and the vcpu model is compatible
with the host one.
If LBR is disabled on the guest, the bits [0, 5] of the read-only
MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES which tells about the record format
stored in the LBR records would be cleared.
