It leads to below MSR access error on SPR.

On Intel SPR, the call site is

intel_idle_vminit()
  -> intel_idle_cpuidle_driver_init()
    -> intel_idle_init_cstates_icpu()
      -> spr_idle_state_table_update()
        -> rdmsrl(MSR_PKG_CST_CONFIG_CONTROL, msr);

However, current KVM doesn't provide emulation for MSR_PKG_CST_CONFIG_CONTROL. It leads to #GP on accessing.

  			pr_debug("Please enable MWAIT in BIOS SETUP\n");
  			return -ENODEV;
  		}
