Sure, I will add more here that
one of its usage is to pass through LBR-related msrs later.

My motivation is to use vmx_set_intercept_for_msr() in pmu_intel.c,
which helps to extract pmu-specific code from vmx.c
I assume modern compilers will still make it inline even in this way,
or do you have a better solution for this?
Please let me if you have more comments on the patch series.
Thanks,
Like Xu
