There is a similar patch already in kvm-20 (which takes a slightly 
different approach of changing nr_good_msrs depending on the mode).

However, the part that hoists the software msr saving above the vmentry 
loop is not in my tree, and it does look good.  It also makes sense to 
use software save/load for the msrs that only matter to userspace.

Please let me know if I can do anything to help with the git problem.  I 
also suggest subscribing to kvm-commits so that you can see the work on 
my tree.

Also, please post patches *both* inline and as attachments :) - inline 
makes it easy to review and comment, and attachments to prevent mangling 
(this only applies to those with broken mailers -- a normal mailer will 
set the attachments content disposition to 'inline', which lets 
thunderbird show it as normal text).
