Thanks for the clarification.
Some kvm x86 selftests have been failing due to this issue even after the last commit.
I blame myself for not passing the msr_info->host_initiated to the intel_is_valid_msr(),
meanwhile I pondered further whether we should check only the MSR addrs range in
the kvm_pmu_is_valid_msr() and apply this kind of sanity check in the pmu_set/get_msr().
Vitaly && Paolo, any preference to move forward ?
