I guess, but...

... is kvm_{get,set}_msr_common() supposed to cover for all those
overlapping MSRs between AMD and Intel? svm_{get,set}_msr() have a lot
more AMD-specific MSRs just like vmx_{get,set}_msr() respectively for
Intel.

Which would mean that if you really want to support those cross-vendor
emulations, you don't need the svm* and vmx* MSR accessors... or am I
missing something?
