There is no standard way to tell the guest that the host overrode its choice to use PT. However, the host will get a PGD/PGE packet around vmentry and vmexit, so there _will_ be an indication that the guest owned the MSRs for that period of time. If PT context switching is enabled with the module parameter, we could also reject creation of events with the attribute set. However that won't help if the event is created before KVM is even loaded.
