Depending on how the hypervisor works, if the vcpu was in l2 when the
tracepoint is enabled, the counters may not be updated on exit and we
may emit a trace with all values zero. If that is possible, it might be
a good idea to only emit the trace if any of the counters are non-zero.
Otherwise, this looks good to me.
