Subject: [PATCH 10/10] KVM: x86: Suppress userspace access failures on
 unsupported, "emulated" MSRs

Extend KVM's suppression of userspace MSR access failures to MSRs that KVM
reports as emulated, but are ultimately unsupported, e.g. if the VMX MSRs
are emulated by KVM, but are unsupported given the vCPU model.
