Subject: [PATCH 32/43] KVM: x86: Ignore reads to EVNTSEL MSRs

From: Amit Shah <amit.shah@...hat.com>

We ignore writes to the performance counters and performance event
selector registers already. Kaspersky antivirus reads the eventsel
MSR causing it to crash with the current behaviour.

Return 0 as data when the eventsel registers are read to stop the
crash.
