PRMD register is only meaningful on the beginning stage of exception entry, and it is overwritten with nested irq or exception. When CPU runs in VM mode, interrupt need be enabled on host. And the mode for host had better be kernel mode rather than random or user mode. When VM is running, running mode with top command comes from CRMD register, and running mode should be kernel mode since kernel function is executing with perf command. It needs be consistent with both top and perf command.
