Intentional or not (I forgot :-), GUEST_IA32_RTIT_CTL is supported/used
by KVM since

    KVM: x86: Add Intel PT virtualization work mode

    KVM: x86: Implement Intel PT MSRs read/write emulation

but there's no corresponding field in eVMCS. It would probably be better
to remove "Currently unsupported in KVM:" line leaving

"GUEST_IA32_RTIT_CTL             = 0x00002814" 

in place.
