From: Maxim Levitsky <[email protected]> commit f4cfcd2d5aea4e96c5d483c476f3057b6b7baf6a upstream.
This msr is only available when the host supports WAITPKG feature. This breaks a nested guest, if the L1 hypervisor is set to ignore unknown msrs, because the only other safety check that the kernel does is that it attempts to read the msr and rejects it if it gets an exception.
