These should never be accessed. A KVM VM will always have
CPUID[06H].ECX = 0, and the Intel manual says that the MSRs are only
present if CPUID returns that value with bit 0 set.

I think the actual bug is that intel_pstate_init does not check the
feature bits in CPUID (either manually or via x86_match_cpu).
