A question is whether Dom0 shouldn't be allowed control over some bits, or whether some bits shouldn't be fully virtualized. I'm particularly thinking of MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE_FAST_STRING, which recent Linux kernels want to disable for CONFIG_KMEMCHECK. While putting this together I also noticed that rdmsr_safe() failed to initialize its output registers in the failure path, thus leading to printing of uninitialized data in the guest WRMSR warning message. Further, the default case value-changed check can be simplified.
