Hmm lovely, so it was broken before, but should be correct now.

RETRY has caused an entry to go onto the paging ring, which will pause
the vcpu until a reply occurs, after which we will re-enter the guest
without having moved RIP forwards, re-execute the wrmsr instruction, and
this time succeed because the frame has been paged in.
