4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Haozhong Zhang <haozhong.zhang@xxxxxxxxx> commit 691bd4340bef49cf7e5855d06cf24444b5bf2d85 upstream. It's easier for host applications, such as QEMU, if they can always access guest MSR_IA32_BNDCFGS in VMCS, even though MPX is disabled in guest cpuid.
