I'm thinking you have your conditions in the wrong order; would it not
be much cheaper to first check: '!x86_pmu.pebs_active || !guest_pebs_idx'
than to do that horrible indirect ->is_in_guest() call?

After all, if the guest doesn't have PEBS enabled, who cares if we're
currently in a guest or not.

Also, something like the below perhaps (arm64 and xen need fixing up at
the very least) could make all that perf_guest_cbs stuff suck less.
