Subject: [PATCH RFC 01/39] KVM: x86: fix Xen hypercall page msr handling

Xen usually places its MSR at 0x4000000 or 0x4000200 depending on
whether it is running in viridian mode or not. Note that this is not
ABI guaranteed, so it is possible for Xen to advertise the MSR some
place else.

Given the way xen_hvm_config() is handled, if the former address is
selected, this will conflict with HyperV's MSR
(HV_X64_MSR_GUEST_OS_ID) which uses the same address.

Given that the MSR location is arbitrary, move the xen_hvm_config()
handling to the top of kvm_set_msr_common() before falling through.
