<offtopic to the context of this patch>
A comment to the MSR algorithm:
The performance of the MSR bitmap merging can be greatly
improved. By default Xen does intercept MSRs with a few exceptions.
Cache those few exceptions and for the nested bitmap only merge the
bits from the guest bitmap with those few ones. All other bits are 1
in any case. That shaves off a huge memory footprint from each VMRUN
emulation.
