[RFC/PATCH 0/4] perf tools: Do not set attr.exclude_guest by default (v1)

[Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>]

Hello,

I found perf tools set exclude_guest bit inconsistently.  It used to
set the bit but now the default event for perf record doesn't.  So I'm
wondering why we want the bit in the first place.

Actually it's not good for PMUs don't support any exclusion like AMD
IBS because it disables new features after the exclude_guest due to
the missing feature detection logic.

AFAIK it doesn't matter for the most cases but perf kvm.  If users
need to set the bit, they can still use :H modifier.  Please let me
know if it's ok for you.

Thanks,
Namhyung
