All of these new guest MSRs will have to be enumerated by
KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST.

I assume that XSAVES & XRSTORS bypass the MSR permission bitmap, like
other instructions that manipulate MSRs (e.g. SWAPGS, RDTSCP, etc.).
Is the guest OS likely to use RDMSR/WRMSR to access these MSRs?

Nit: It seems like this function adjusts the MSR permission bitmap so
as *not* to intercept the CET MSRs.

What about nested guests? (i.e. vmcs02).

Since this is called from vmx_cpuid_update, what happens if cet_en was
previously true and now it's false?
