Depending on how the hypervisor works, if the vcpu was in l2 when the 
tracepoint is enabled, the counters may not be updated on exit and we 
may emit a trace with all values zero. If that is possible, it might be 
a good idea to only emit the trace if any of the counters are non-zero.

Otherwise, this looks good to me.
