To address your comment, please help confirm whether you are
fine or happy with the streamlined logic of intel_guest_get_msrs():

     /*
      * Disable PEBS in the guest if PEBS is used by the host; enabling PEBS
      * in both will lead to unexpected PMIs in the host and/or missed PMIs
      * in the guest.

     }
     *nr = 1;

     if (x86_pmu.pebs) {
         arr[1].msr = MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE;

         if (!arr[1].host) {
             arr[1].guest = cpuc->pebs_enabled & ~cpuc->intel_ctrl_host_mask;
