I'm okay with an ioctl to setup MCE, but just make sure userspace has
all the information to know what the kernel can do rather than the
try-and-see-if-it-works approach. We can publish this information via
KVM_CAP things, or via another ioctl (see KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID2 for
an example).
Why not introduce a new exit type for MSR reads/writes that aren't
handled by the kernel? You just need a bit on the return that indicates
whether to GPF because of an invalid MSR access.
KVM_SET_MSRs should be reserved for MSRs that are performance
sensitive. Not all of them will be.
