Would it make sense to encourage users to switch to MMIO-based access if 
the
platform replaces MSR interfaces with MMIO-based ones? One issue with 
emulating
MSR-based access is that there may not be a strict 1:1 mapping between 
the MSR
range and the MMIO range. Additionally, I am unsure whether both are 
strictly
linearly scalable, so it could be challenging to create a proper mapping for
msr_value_emulated = map(mmio_value) IIUC.

thanks,
Chenyu
