We resisted that trapping for a long time but have it now, and both the existing Xen and Hyper-V support — as well as a bunch of other things that KVM has historically done in-kernel on trapping MSRs — could *theoretically* be done in userspace.

But they all already exist in the kernel. This is just a bug fix because the Hyper-V support broke it for Xen due to the conflict.
