    x86: kvm: Add MTRR support for kvm_get|put_msrs() · d1ae67f6

    The MTRR state in KVM currently runs completely independent of the
    QEMU state in CPUX86State.mtrr_*.  This means that on migration, the
    target loses MTRR state from the source.  Generally that's ok though
    because KVM ignores it and maps everything as write-back anyway.  The
    exception to this rule is when we have an assigned device and an IOMMU
    that doesn't promote NoSnoop transactions from that device to be cache
    coherent.  In that case KVM trusts the guest mapping of memory as
    configured in the MTRR.
    
    This patch updates kvm_get|put_msrs() so that we retrieve the actual
    vCPU MTRR settings and therefore keep CPUX86State synchronized for
    migration.  kvm_put_msrs() is also used on vCPU reset and therefore
    allows future modificaitons of MTRR state at reset to be realized.
    
    Note that the entries array used by both functions was already
    slightly undersized for holding every possible MSR, so this patch
    increases it beyond the 28 new entries necessary for MTRR state.
