Yeah, I planned to do this for some time now and finally found the time
to do it :)

builtin-kvm looks like a wrapper for other perf-cmds which just sets up
some additional state to tell the sub-cmds that guest-symbols need to be
resolved and so on.
Implementing this into the place where the other exclude-bits get set
(which is in generic code) seemed like a good idea to me. Touching
builtin-kvm was unnecessary for this.
