Intel processor has lapci_in_kernel() checking in "[RFC PATCH v3 16/54] KVM: x86/pmu: Plumb through pass-through PMU to vcpu for Intel CPUs".
+	pmu->passthrough = vcpu->kvm->arch.enable_passthrough_pmu &&
+			   lapic_in_kernel(vcpu);

AMD processor seems need this checking also. we could move this checking into common place.
