Ugh, I inverted the check, '1' == intercept.  IIRC, I open coded the intercept
check because SPEC_CTRL is really the only case where should be reading _only_
the current VMCS's MSR bitmap.

I'll spin a new version of the series and test with SPEC_CTRL disabled in a VM,
and maybe revist my reasoning for this.

Thanks!
