    x86/pv: Make the PV default WRMSR path match the HVM default
    
    The current HVM default for writes to unknown MSRs is to inject #GP if the 
MSR
    is unreadable, and discard writes otherwise. While this behaviour isn't 
great,
    the PV default is even worse, because it swallows writes even to 
non-readable
    MSRs.  i.e. A PV guest doesn't even get a #GP fault for a write to a totally
    bogus index.
    
    Update PV to make it consistent with HVM, which will simplify the task of
    making other improvements to the default MSR behaviour.
