3.16.49-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jim Mattson <jmattson@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit a8b6fda38f80e75afa3b125c9e7f2550b579454b upstream.
The MSR permission bitmaps are shared by all VMs. However, some VMs
may not be configured to support MPX, even when the host does. If the
host supports VMX and the guest does not, we should intercept accesses
to the BNDCFGS MSR, so that we can synthesize a #GP
fault. Furthermore, if the host does not support MPX and the
"ignore_msrs" kvm kernel parameter is set, then we should intercept
accesses to the BNDCFGS MSR, so that we can skip over the rdmsr/wrmsr
without raising a #GP fault.
Fixes: da8999d31818fdc8 ("KVM: x86: Intel MPX vmx and msr handle")
