there's a few changes pending for that file:

  earth4:~/tip> gll linus.. include/asm-x86/msr-index.h
  315a655: x86: move VMX MSRs to msr-index.h
  77ef50a: x86: consolidate header guards

so i guess best is to put 315a655 into kvm.git as well and do these 
changes there. The header-guard changes should not cause significant 
merge trouble.
