And yet you keep that 'intr||pebs' weirdness :/

This, that's exactly the kind of code I wanted to get rid of. ?: has
it's place I suppose, but you're creating dense ugly code for no reason.

	perf_overflow_handle_t ovf = kvm_perf_overflow;

	if (intr)
		ovf = kvm_perf_overflow_intr;

Is so much easier to read. And if you really worry about that pebs
thing; you can add:

	WARN_ON_ONCE(pebs && !intr);
