Question: When a VCPU migrates, what syncs the shared_msrs per-cpu vars
before or after that, or why is this no problem?


The guest's msrs remain on the old cpu (until a new guest is switched in or we return to userspace). The guest msrs are loaded into the new cpu when vmx_save_host_state() is called as part or kvm_arch_vcpu_load().

I'm currently following the theory that guest_msrs contains some
non-EFER entry with 0 value, but shared_msrs has a different index in
the slot passed to kvm_set_shared_msr.

That's a global...
