Meanwhile, to ensure correctly xsaves/xrstors guest state, set IA32_XFD as zero during vmexit and vmenter.|

Most guests will not need the whole xstate feature set. So perhaps you could set XFD to the host value | the guest value, trap #NM if the host XFD is zero, and possibly reflect the exception to the guest's XFD and XFD_ERR.

In addition, loading the guest XFD MSRs should use the MSR autoload feature (add_atomic_switch_msr).
