This is the only approach that I'm outright opposed to.  The evmcs_touch_msr_bitmap()
stub is a lie in that it should never be reached with CONFIG_HYPERV=n, i.e. should
really WARN.  Ditto for the WARN_ON_ONCE() in the actual helper; if vmx->vmcs01.vmcs
is NULL then KVM is completely hosed.

KVM already consumes hv_enlightenments_control.msr_bitmap in vmx.c and in nested.c,
shoving this case into hyperv.h but leaving those in VMX proper is odd/kludgy.
