Thanks so much for doing this!

Aren't we actually adopting the read intercepts from VMCS12 and
*enabling* the *write* intercepts?

The indexing above seems a bit obtuse, but maybe it will be clear
enough after the above comment is fixed up.

Perhaps you could #define X2APIC_MSR(reg) (APIC_BASE_MSR + ((reg) >>
4)) somewhere appropriate (e.g. arch/x86/include/asm/apicdef.h) and
use that here (and below) for brevity?

Should we also think about letting L1 control pass-through of some of
the more mundane MSRs, like FS_BASE, GS_BASE, and KERNEL_GS_BASE?
