Let's instead add:

- KVM_CAP_MSR_EXITS

- KVM_CAP_ENABLE_MSR_EXIT

- KVM_CAP_DISABLE_MSR_EXIT

and 3 kinds of exits: KVM_EXIT_MSR_READ, KVM_EXIT_MSR_WRITE,
KVM_EXIT_MSR_AFTER_WRITE.  The first two use four fields (type, msr,
data, handled) and #GP if handled=0 is zero on the next entry.  The last
one uses the first three fields and can be used for HyperV.
