That's right, there is no possibility for the host and guest BRBE config
to overlap.

That is not supported currently. But in order to enable capturing guest
branch samples from inside the host - BRBCR_EL2 configs need to migrate
into BRBCR_EL1 when the guest runs on the cpu.

I am not sure about other architectures, but for now this falls within
guest support which might be looked into later. But is not the proposed
patch complete in itself without any further guest support ?
