+1. The right way to get/set MSRs like this is to use __kvm_get_msr() and pass
%true for @host_initiated. Though I would add a prep patch to provide wrappers
for __kvm_get_msr() and __kvm_set_msr(). Naming will be hard, but I think we
can use kvm_{read,write}_msr() to go along with the KVM-initiated register
accessors/mutators, e.g. kvm_register_read(), kvm_pdptr_write(), etc.

Then you don't need to wait until after kvm_smm_changed(), and kvm_cet_is_msr_accessible()
doesn't need the confusing (and broken) SMM waiver, e.g. as Chao points out below,
that would allow the guest to access the synthetic MSR.

Delta patch at the bottom (would need to be split up, rebased, etc.).

It's not a guest read though, KVM is doing the read while emulating SMI/RSM.

We could, but that would largely defeat the purpose of kvm_x86_ops.{g,s}et_msr(),
i.e. we already have hooks to get at MSR values that are buried in the VMCS/VMCB,
the interface is just a bit kludgy.
