Are you sure about that? 0x198 is an Intel architectural perfmon MSR and 
it is read-only. The Linux kernel source I grep'ed obeys this and does 
only rdmsr.
You can work around this by changing the error to a warning with:
# modprobe kvm ignore_msrs=1

I'd like to see more details about the guest Linux kernel, at least the 
version you used to see why there is a wrmsr on this address. Best is 
you provide the kernel (just the vmlinuz file) somewhere so that we can 
reproduce this. Also the qemu-kvm command line would be interesting.

Regards,
Andre.
