Regardless, do you think that disabling VPMU for PVH is worth anyway?
That depends on what (bad) consequences not doing so has.

I haven't seen anything (besides VAPIC accesses) but I think it would be prudent to prevent any VPMU activity from happening. I can see, for example MSRs and APIC vector being written. All of which look benign on the first sight but who knows...
