    x86/msr: Virtualise MSR_FLUSH_CMD for guests
    
    Guests (outside of the nested virt case, which isn't supported yet) don't 
need
    L1D_FLUSH for their L1TF mitigations, but offering/emulating MSR_FLUSH_CMD 
is
    easy and doesn't pose an issue for Xen.
    
    The MSR is offered to HVM guests only.  PV guests attempting to use it would
    trap for emulation, and the L1D cache would fill long before the return to
    guest context.  As such, PV guests can't make any use of the L1D_FLUSH
    functionality.
    
    This is part of XSA-273 / CVE-2018-3646.
