Could we tweak the comments here to be something like:

int cpu;  /* The CPU the thread is currently running on or the CPU of
the hypervisor thread. */
int guest_cpu; /* The CPU within a guest (QEMU) that's running. */

Does -1 convey meaning beyond uninitialized, like with the 'any' CPU
perf_event_open argument?

Thanks,
Ian
