Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] KVM: x86: Disallow writes to feature MSRs post-KVM_RUN

Give feature MSRs that same treatment as CPUID and disallow changing said
MSRs after KVM_RUN.

RFC as this is lightly tested and should come with a selftests update to
verify it actually works.  Posting early to get feedback on the overall
idea, and on the VMX MSRs trickery (though I think patches 1-2 are a good
idea irrespective of trying to reduce the overhead of the new check).

Sean Christopherson (3):
  KVM: x86: Add macros to track first...last VMX feature MSRs
  KVM: x86: Generate set of VMX feature MSRs using first/last
    definitions
  KVM: x86: Disallow writes to immutable feature MSRs after KVM_RUN
