That is bad for multiple reasons. In my case, I wanted to emulate the MSR in user space, because it's a CPU specific register that does not exist on older CPUs and that really only contains informational data that is on the package level, so it's a natural fit for user space to provide it. However, it is also bad on a platform compatibility level. Currrently, KVM has no way to expose different MSRs based on the selected target CPU type. This patch set introduces a way for user space to indicate to KVM which MSRs should be handled in kernel space. With that, we can solve part of the platform compatibility story. Or at least we can not handle AMD specific MSRs on an Intel platform and vice versa. In addition, it introduces a way for user space to get into the loop when an MSR access would generate a #GP fault, such as when KVM finds an MSR that is not handled by the in-kernel MSR emulation or when the guest is trying to access reserved registers. In combination with filtering, user space trapping allows us to emulate arbitrary MSRs in user space, paving the way for target CPU specific MSR implementations from user space. v1 -> v2: - s/ETRAP_TO_USER_SPACE/ENOENT/g - deflect all #GP injection events to user space, not just unknown MSRs.

Are you planning on sending the remaining 3?
Hmm, looks like a combination of bad email server and buggy git broke my neck here. I found a small bug in the series, so I've just sent the full set out again, hopefully completely this time :).
