Disallow writes to feature MSRs after KVM_RUN to prevent userspace from
changing the vCPU model after running the vCPU. Similar to guest CPUID,
KVM uses feature MSRs to configure intercepts, determine what operations
are/aren't allowed, etc. Changing the capabilities while the vCPU is
active will at best yield unpredictable guest behavior, and at worst
could be dangerous to KVM.
Allow writing the current value, e.g. so that userspace can blindly set
all MSRs when emulating RESET, and unconditionally allow writes to
MSR_IA32_UCODE_REV so that userspace can emulate patch loads.
Special case the VMX MSRs to keep the generic list small, i.e. so that
KVM can do a linear walk of the generic list without incurring meaningful
overhead.
