MTRR appears to be configured to be type "Fixed" in the TDX module. So the guest could expect to be able to use it and be surprised by a #GP. { "MSB": "12", "LSB": "12", "Field Size": "1", "Field Name": "MTRR", "Configuration Details": null, "Bit or Field Virtualization Type": "Fixed", "Virtualization Details": "0x1" }, If KVM does not support MTRRs in TDX, then it has to return the error somewhere or pretend to support it (do nothing but not return an error). Returning an error to the guest would be making up arch behavior, and to a lesser degree so would ignoring the WRMSR. So that is why I lean towards returning to userspace and giving the VMM the option to ignore it, return an error to the guest or show an error to the user. If KVM can't support the behavior, better to get an actual error in userspace than a mysterious guest hang, right? Outside of what kind of exit it is, do you object to the general plan to punt to userspace? Since this is a TDX specific limitation, I guess there is KVM_EXIT_TDX_VMCALL as a general category of TDVMCALLs that cannot be handled by KVM.
