Implements set_msr/get_msr/has_emulated_msr methods for TDX to handle
hypercall from guest TD for paravirtualized rdmsr and wrmsr. The TDX
module virtualizes MSRs. For some MSRs, it injects #VE to the guest TD
upon RDMSR or WRMSR. The exact list of such MSRs are defined in the spec.

Upon #VE, the guest TD may execute hypercalls,
TDG.VP.VMCALL<INSTRUCTION.RDMSR> and TDG.VP.VMCALL<INSTRUCTION.WRMSR>,
which are defined in GHCI (Guest-Host Communication Interface) so that the
host VMM (e.g. KVM) can virtualize the MSRs.

There are three classes of MSRs virtualization.
- non-configurable: TDX module directly virtualizes it. VMM can't
configure. the value set by KVM_SET_MSR_INDEX_LIST is ignored.

There is no KVM_SET_MSR_INDEX_LIST in current kvm code.
Do you mean KVM_SET_MSRS?

- configurable: TDX module directly virtualizes it. VMM can configure at
the VM creation time. The value set by KVM_SET_MSR_INDEX_LIST is used.
- #VE case
Guest TD would issue TDG.VP.VMCALL<INSTRUCTION.{WRMSR,RDMSR> and
VMM handles the MSR hypercall. The value set by KVM_SET_MSR_INDEX_LIST
is used.
