Arch LBR MSRs are xsave-supported, but they're operated as "independent"
xsave feature by PMU code, i.e., during thread/process context switch,
the MSRs are saved/restored with perf_event_task_sched_{in|out} instead
of generic kernel fpu switch code, i.e.,save_fpregs_to_fpstate() and
restore_fpregs_from_fpstate(). When vcpu guest/host fpu state swap happens,
Arch LBR MSRs are retained so they can be accessed directly.

I don't see how this is correct.  As called out in patch 5:

  : If for some magical reason it's safe to access arch LBR MSRs without disabling
  : IRQs and confirming perf event ownership, I want to see a very detailed changelog
  : explaining exactly how that magic works.

The MSR lists here are just for live migration. When arch-lbr is active, these MSRs are passed through

to guest.
