For the next version of the nVHE change [1] I planned to re-write it
just in terms of the guest trfcr register value rather than
exclude_guest/exclude host. That means that it would be pretty easy to
move the write to SYS_TRFCR_EL12 to the VHE implementation of
kvm_etm_set_guest_trfcr(). So yes I can make this change I think it
makes sense.
