Decoding the user instruction is ugly and sets a bad architecture
precedent, but we already do it in #GP for UMIP.  So I'm unconvinced.

Memo to Intel, though: you REALLY need to start thinking about what
the heck an OS is supposed to do with all these new faults you're
coming up with.  The new #NM for TILE is utterly nonsensical.  Sure,
it works for an OS that does not use CR0.TS and as long as no one
tries to extend the same mechanism for some new optional piece of
state, but as soon as Intel tries to use the same mechanism for
anything else, it falls apart.

Please do better.

WARN instead of BUG is nice, but you'll immediate oops if this fails.
How about:

if (!WARN_ON_ONCE(!ppasid_state))
  ppasid_state->pasid = msr_val;
