Whoops.. so the hardware is reading the DS address as programmed by the
host (host linear address) and using it as a guest linear address?
Quality stuff..
Disabling PEBS events for guests isn't pretty though.. but I guess the
only alternative is mapping the DS into the guest and reprogramming
MSR_IA32_DS_AREA which is all a little involved I suppose?
