Snapshot the host's MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES, if it's supported, instead of reading the MSR every time KVM wants to query the host state, e.g. when initializing the default value during vCPU creation. The paths that query ARCH_CAPABILITIES aren't particularly performance sensitive, but creating vCPUs is a frequent enough operation that burning 8 bytes is a good trade-off. Alternatively, KVM could add a field in kvm_caps and thus skip the on-demand calculations entirely, but a pure snapshot isn't possible due to the way KVM handles the l1tf_vmx_mitigation module param. And unlike the other "supported" fields in kvm_caps, KVM doesn't enforce the "supported" value, i.e. KVM treats ARCH_CAPABILITIES like a CPUID leaf and lets userspace advertise whatever it wants. Those problems are solvable, but it's not clear there is real benefit versus snapshotting the host value, and grabbing the host value will allow additional cleanup of KVM's FB_CLEAR_CTRL code.
