Don't bother, practically no one cares about 32-bit KVM these days, and I highly
don't anyone that runs 32-bit KVM cares about the code footprint to this degree.

That's a lot of RDMSRs to eat on every task migration.  How hard would it be to
add a per-CPU cache for each of these?  Or is there a pre-existing way to get at
the info that's faster than RDMSR?

Eh, just trim this to:

Somewhat of a moot point, but this belongs in init_vmcs(), not __vmx_vcpu_reset().
