I'm not sure about this one, it's relatively expensive to call vmx_find_uret_msr.

User-return MSRs and disable-intercept MSRs are almost the opposite: uret is for MSRs that the host (not even the processor) never uses, disable-intercept is for MSRs that the guest reads/writes often. As such it seems almost impossible that they overlap.
