This adds paravirt hooks for unsafe MSR access. On native, they
call native_{read,write}_msr. On Xen, they use
xen_{read,write}_msr_safe.
Nothing uses them yet for ease of bisection. The next patch will
use them in rdmsrl, wrmsrl, etc.
I intentionally didn't make them OOPS on #GP on Xen. I think that
should be done separately by the Xen maintainers.
