Would it make sense taking the commits below to make this patch apply on
5.3?

7a5ee6edb42e ("KVM: X86: Fix initialization of MSR lists")
e2ada66ec418 ("kvm: x86: Add Intel PMU MSRs to msrs_to_save[]")
24c29b7ac0da ("KVM: x86: omit absent pmu MSRs from MSR list")
cf05a67b68b8 ("KVM: x86: omit "impossible" pmu MSRs from MSR list")
