Subject: [PATCH 0/3] KVM: x86: Clean up MSR filtering+exiting docs

Attempt to improve the documentation for MSR filtering+exiting.  The
existing documentation is quite verbose, but manages to avoid stating what
KVM actually does, and unnecessarily introduces new terminology, e.g. uses
"deflect" where KVM typically use "intercept".

Sean Christopherson (3):
  KVM: x86: Delete documentation for READ|WRITE in
    KVM_X86_SET_MSR_FILTER
  KVM: x86: Reword MSR filtering docs to more precisely define behavior
  KVM: x86: Clean up KVM_CAP_X86_USER_SPACE_MSR documentation
