This should be unnecessary when you switch to the user return framework.

KERNEL_GS_BASE is a bit special because it needs to be reloaded if the kernel
switches to a different task, i.e. before an exit to userspace.

Drop the comment, if someone reading KVM code doesn't grok that attempting to
access MSRs that shouldn't exist results in #GP, then a comment probably isn't
going to save them.

This should also be bumped to the top, i.e. do the "does this exist check" first.

Lastly, the direction we are taking is to NOT exempt host-initiated writes, i.e.
userspace has to set CPUID before MSRs.  If you base the next version on top of
this series, it should just work (and if it doesn't, I definitely want to know):

Uh, where does the value go?  Oh, this is common code.  Ah, and it's in common
code so that VMX can avoid having to make an extra function call for every MSR.
Neat.

Same comments here.
