I'd call this msr_data.

And this msr_context.

"msr_to_save"?

The definitions look the same as the previous ones.

Can we share them somehow?

If you did something like

struct msr_type *msr = ctxt->msr_for_save.msr_array;
struct msr_type *end = msr + ctxt->msr_for_save.num;

while (msr < end) {
msr->msr_saved = !rdmsrl_safe(msr->rv.msr_no, &msr->rv.reg.q);
msr++;
}

here (and analogously below), it would be somewhat easier to follow IMO.

Why 64 in particular?

I wonder if this array may be allocated dynamically?

We'll waste memory here in the majority of cases.

I'd call it "msr_init_context" or something like that.
