Do you mean user space VMM (e.g. qemu) by "the userland"?
There are three classes of MSRs virtualization.
- non-configurable: TDX module directly virtualizes it. VMM can't configure.
  the value set by KVM_SET_MSR_INDEX_LIST is ignored.
- configurable: TDX module directly virtualizes it. VMM can configure at the
  VM creation time.
  the value set by KVM_SET_MSR_INDEX_LIST is used.
- #VE
  VMM handles the MSR hypercall by guest TD issues. The value set by
  KVM_SET_MSR_INDEX_LIST is used.

Yes, will fix.
