Subject: [PATCH 6/7] KVM: x86: Ignore benign host accesses to "unsupported"
 PEBS and BTS MSRs

Ignore host userspace reads and writes of '0' to PEBS and BTS MSRs that
KVM reports in the MSR-to-save list, but the MSRs are ultimately
unsupported.  All MSRs in said list must be writable by userspace, e.g.
if userspace sends the list back at KVM without filtering out the MSRs it
doesn't need.
