KVM: x86: ensure all MSRs can always be KVM_GET/SET_MSR'd
Some of the MSRs returned by GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST currently cannot be sent back
to KVM_GET_MSR and/or KVM_SET_MSR; either they can never be sent back, or you
they are only accepted under special conditions. This makes the API a pain to
use.
To avoid this pain, this patch makes it so that the result of the get-list
ioctl can always be used for host-initiated get and set. Since we don't have
a separate way to check for read-only MSRs, this means some Hyper-V MSRs are
ignored when written. Arguably they should not even be in the result of
GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST, but I am leaving there in case userspace is using the
outcome of GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST to derive the support for the corresponding
Hyper-V feature.
