Guest space profiling is easy, and 'perf kvm' is not about that. (plain 'perf' 
will work if a proper paravirt channel is opened to the host)

I think you might have misunderstood the purpose and role of the 'perf kvm' 
patch here? 'perf kvm' is aimed at KVM developers: it is them who improve KVM 
code, not guest kernel users.
