Thanks, I merged trace-cmd-kvm into master and applied your patch
(haven't pushed yet).

I ran this under gdb (nice to do that, where I don't in kernel :-) And
it takes me to kvm_emulate_insn_handler() which does the
trace_seq_printf() fine, but then calls pevent_print_num_field() and
that passes in "guest_rip" where we get the "CAN'T FIND FIELD" error.

In pevent_print_num_field() it searches for "guest_rip" at the top of
the function (pevent_find_field()), but the event kvm_emulate_insn does
not have a "guest_rip" field, then it jumps to the error message.
