> As I mentioned earlier, this probably makes vmentry/vmexit too expensive when guests are not using processor tracing. I would do it only if guest TRACEEN=1 (since anyway the values have to be correct if guest TRACEEN=1, and a change in TRACEEN always causes a vmexit).

Will change in next version.
