The problem of this organization is the handling of S_CET, SSP, INT_SSP_TABLE
MSR is incomplete in this patch. I think a better organization is to either
merge this patch and patch 13, or move all changes related to S_CET, SSP,
INT_SSP_TABLE into patch 13? e.g.,

	case MSR_IA32_U_CET:
-	case MSR_IA32_S_CET:
		if (!kvm_cet_is_msr_accessible(vcpu, msr_info))
			return 1;
		if ((!guest_can_use(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_SHSTK) &&
		     (data & CET_SHSTK_MASK_BITS)) ||
		    (!guest_can_use(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_IBT) &&
		     (data & CET_IBT_MASK_BITS)))
			return 1;
-		if (msr == MSR_IA32_U_CET)
-			kvm_set_xsave_msr(msr_info);
		kvm_set_xsave_msr(msr_info);
		break;
-	case MSR_KVM_GUEST_SSP:
-	case MSR_IA32_PL0_SSP ... MSR_IA32_INT_SSP_TAB:
	case MSR_IA32_PL0_SSP ... MSR_IA32_PL3_SSP:
		if (!kvm_cet_is_msr_accessible(vcpu, msr_info))
			return 1;
		if (is_noncanonical_address(data, vcpu))
			return 1;
		if (!IS_ALIGNED(data, 4))
			return 1;
		if (msr == MSR_IA32_PL0_SSP || msr == MSR_IA32_PL1_SSP ||
		    msr == MSR_IA32_PL2_SSP) {
			vcpu->arch.cet_s_ssp[msr - MSR_IA32_PL0_SSP] = data;
		} else if (msr == MSR_IA32_PL3_SSP) {
			kvm_set_xsave_msr(msr_info);
		}
		break;



BTW, shouldn't bit2:0 of MSR_KVM_GUEST_SSP be 0? i.e., for MSR_KVM_GUEST_SSP,
the alignment check should be IS_ALIGNED(data, 8).

I am not sure what kind of issue you are worrying about. In my understanding,
KVM hasn't advertised the support of IBT and SHSTK, so,
kvm_cpu_cap_has(X86_FEATURE_SHSTK/IBT) will always return false. and then
kvm_cet_is_msr_accessible() is guaranteed to return false.

If there is any issue in your mind, you can fix it or reorganize your patches to
avoid the issue. To me, adding a comment and a warning is not a good solution.

IIUC, bits 9:6 are not reserved for IBT. I don't get how IBT availability
affects the handling of bits 9:6.

Yes, looks good.
