This is the hiccup with naming it sregs_loaded.  The split bools is also
kinda wonky since the 32->64 case is a one-off scenario.  I think a
cleaner solution would be to remove guest_msrs_dirty and refresh the MSRs
directly from setup_msrs().  Then loaded_cpu_state -> loaded_guest_state
can be a straight conversion from loaded_vmcs -> bool.  I'll send patches.

Same issue here, one would expect this to check guest_msrs_loaded.
