The updated Enlightened VMCS v1 specification gained {guest,host}_ia32_perf_global_ctrl fields so there's no need to filter VM_{EXIT,ENTRY}_LOAD_IA32_PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL out. Unfortunately, enabling these controls for Hyper-V on KVM results in boot time crashes and the exact reason is not clear yet. It is, however, possible to enable the feature for KVM on Hyper-V as it seems to work.
