Thanks for the clarification.

Some kvm x86 selftests have been failing due to this issue even after the last commit.

I blame myself for not passing the msr_info->host_initiated to the intel_is_valid_msr(),
meanwhile I pondered further whether we should check only the MSR addrs range in
the kvm_pmu_is_valid_msr() and apply this kind of sanity check in the pmu_set/get_msr().

Vitaly && Paolo, any preference to move forward ?

I'm not sure what I did wrong to not see the failure, so I'll fix it myself.

But from now on, I'll have a hard rule of no new processor features enabled without KVM unit tests or selftests. In fact, it would be nice if you wrote some for PEBS.
