Hi Arnaldo,

PT is always disabled when VT-x is active.

I guess the problem is here that it doesn't get reenabled when context switching
out of the guest. Need to add some code to KVM to do this (similar to how PEBS is handled)

However it should work again when you stop the KVM guest and restart the trace.
