Do these MSRs ever affect kernel-mode operation?

If so, we might need to switch them more aggressively at context-switch
time like PKRU.

If not, they can continue to be context-switched with the PASID state
which does not affect kernel-mode operation.

Either way, it would be nice to have some changelog material to that effect.
