Some of the MSRs returned by GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST currently cannot be sent back to KVM_GET_MSR and/or KVM_SET_MSR; either they can never be sent back, or you they are only accepted under special conditions. This makes the API a pain to use. To avoid this pain, this patch makes it so that the result of the get-list ioctl can always be used for host-initiated get and set. Since we don't have a separate way to check for read-only MSRs, this means some Hyper-V MSRs are ignored when written. Arguably they should not even be in the result of GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST, but I am leaving there in case userspace is using the outcome of GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST to derive the support for the corresponding Hyper-V feature.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
