Presumably something is wonky in Paolo's workflow, this happened before.

    KVM: nVMX: Disable intercept for FS/GS base MSRs in vmcs02 when possible

    If L1 is using an MSR bitmap, unconditionally merge the MSR bitmaps from
    L0 and L1 for MSR_{KERNEL,}_{FS,GS}_BASE.  KVM unconditionally exposes
    MSRs L1.  If KVM is also running in L1 then it's highly likely L1 is
    also exposing the MSRs to L2, i.e. KVM doesn't need to intercept L2
    accesses.

    Based on code from Jintack Lim.
