The CPUID feature bit also indicates support for the two new VM-exit reasons.
Therefore, KVM needs to reflect EXIT_REASON_MSR_READ/WRITE_IMM VM-exits to
L1 guests in nested cases if KVM claims it supports the new form of MSR
instructions.

I'm also wondering if the emulator needs to support this new instruction. I
suppose it does.
