EXIT_REASON_MSR_WRITE is '32', in SVM this corresponds to
SVM_EXIT_READ_DR0. There were issues I guess. Or did you only detect
that the fastpath is not working?

Fixes: 1e9e2622a149 ("KVM: VMX: FIXED+PHYSICAL mode single target IPI fastpath")

There is an extra newline here (in case it's not just me).

Could we add defines for '1' and '0', like
SVM_EXITINFO_MSR_WRITE/SVM_EXITINFO_MSR_READ maybe?
