There is no need to touch struct pt and to know details of KVM in
arch/x86/events. Please add a function pointer

void (*kvm_handle_pt_interrupt)(void);

to some header, and in handle_pmi_common do

if (unlikely(kvm_handle_intel_pt_interrupt))
kvm_handle_intel_pt_interrupt();
else
intel_pt_interrupt();

The function pointer can be assigned in
kvm_before_interrupt/kvm_after_interrupt just like you do now.

This should be a simpler patch too.
