Subject: [PATCH v3 1/5] KVM: x86: SVM: Emulate reads and writes to shadow stack MSRs

Set up interception of shadow stack MSRs. In the event that shadow stack
is unsupported on the host or the MSRs are otherwise inaccessible, the
interception code will return an error. In certain circumstances such as
host initiated MSR reads or writes, the interception code will get or
set the requested MSR value.
