I found the bug got fixed in kvm upstream. Gleb, you fixed it by the following
commit?
commit 7f85a520ba8407af6384aac32d829988ab543ebf

KVM: do not #GP on perf MSR writes when vPMU is disabled
Return to behaviour perf MSR had before introducing vPMU in case vPMU
is disabled. Some guests access those registers unconditionally and do
not expect it to fail.
