Would need to take a closer look to tell for sure, but from a quick check
it indeed seems to not be there.

more than jumping between metrics over time silently? ;-) The live view can
be easily annotated with a different label or the like if the source is
another, not so easy for metrics.
The more I think about this the more I'm in favor of just deprecating this
again completely, this page table walking can even cause some latency spikes
in the target process, IMO just not worth it. If the kernel can give us this
free, or at least much cheaper, in the future, then great, but until then it's
not really an option. If, we can make this opt-in. The best granularity here
probably would be through guest config, but for starters a cluster-wide
datacenter option could be already enough for the setups that are fine with
this performance trade-off in general.
