[PATCH 0/2] KVM: X86: A few fixes around ignore_msrs

[Peter Xu]

Currently ignore_msrs and report_ignored_msrs have a few issues:

  - Errors could be dumped to dmesg even if the msr access is triggered inside
    kvm itself (e.g., kvm_cpuid), while what we really want to trap should be
    either guest msr accesses, or KVM_SET_MSRS.

  - These two parameters didn't apply to feature msrs.

Each of the patch in this series tries to handle one of the issues.

Here KVM_MSR_RET_INVALID is introduced.  Ideally it can be an enum with both
0/1 defined too, but I'll see whether there's any feedback first about this
version.

This originates from a discussion between Paolo and me on an unexpected warning
msr access message that triggered on a RT system, which seemed to have caused
some system jitters.

Please have a look, thanks.
