Of course you can emulate a good portion of it, as long as there's perf
support on the host side for P4.
Actually P4 is pretty uninteresting in this discussion due to the lack
of VMX support, it's the same issue for Nehalem vs Core2. The problem
is the same though, we cannot tell the guest that yes P4 has this
event, but no, we are going to feed you bogus data.
The Pentium D which is a P4 derivative has vmx support. However it is
so slow I'm fine with ignoring it for this feature.
