[PATCH v2 01/32] KVM: SVM: Disable interception of SPEC_CTRL iff the MSR exists for the guest

[Sean Christopherson]

Disable interception of SPEC_CTRL when the CPU virtualizes (i.e. context
switches) SPEC_CTRL if and only if the MSR exists according to the vCPU's
CPUID model.  Letting the guest access SPEC_CTRL is generally benign, but
the guest would see inconsistent behavior if KVM happened to emulate an
access to the MSR.
