Thanks Paolo.
msr->host_initiated handling would be added in next version.
I'd like to ask why always allow msr->host_initiated even if XFD is not part of
CPUID, although guest doesn't care that MSR? We found some MSRs
(e.g. MSR_AMD64_OSVW_STATUS and MSR_AMD64_OSVW_ID_LENGTH )
are specially handled so would like to know the consideration of allowing
msr->host_initiated.
if (!msr_info->host_initiated && !guest_cpuid_has(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_XFD))
return 1;
However, if XFD is nonzero and kvm_check_guest_realloc_fpstate
> returns true, then it should return 1.

If XFD is nonzero, kvm_check_guest_realloc_fpstate() won't return true. So
may not need this check here?
Thanks,
Jing
