Subject: [PATCH] KVM: VMX: Forbid userspace MSR filters for x2APIC

Allowing userspace to intercept reads to x2APIC MSRs when APICV is
fully enabled for the guest simply can't work.   But more in general,
if the LAPIC is in-kernel, allowing accessed by userspace would be very
confusing.  If userspace wants to intercept x2APIC MSRs, then it should
first disable in-kernel APIC.

We could in principle allow userspace to intercept reads and writes to TPR,
and writes to EOI and SELF_IPI, but while that could be made it work, it
would still be silly.
