Why do you need this? If you have the pointer to a kvm_pmc structure, it
is very cheap to compute the address of the vcpu:

static inline kvm_vcpu *kvm_pmc_to_vcpu(struct kvm_pmc *pmc)
{
	struct kvm_pmu *pmu;
	pmc -= pmc->idx;
	pmu = container_of(pmc, struct kvm_pmu, pmc);
	return container_of(pmu, struct kvm_vcpu, pmu);
}

All of which the compiler will happily optimize for you.

Looking at the code in pmu.c, there seem to be some confusion between
u64 and unsigned long (see kvm_pmu_get_counter_value). Please make sure
this is uniform.
