From: Adalbert Lazar <alazar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Inform the guest introspection tool that an MSR is going to be changed.
The kvmi_msr_event() function will check a bitmap of MSR-s of interest
(configured via a KVMI_CONTROL_EVENTS(KVMI_MSR_CONTROL) request) and, if
the new value differs from the previous one, it will generate a
notification. The introspection tool can respond by allowing the guest
to continue with normal execution or by discarding the change.
This is meant to prevent malicious changes to MSR-s such as
MSR_IA32_SYSENTER_EIP.
