On a userspace MSR filter change, recalculate all MSR intercepts using the filter-agnostic logic instead of maintaining a "shadow copy" of KVM's desired intercepts. The shadow bitmaps add yet another point of failure, are confusing (e.g. what does "handled specially" mean!?!?), an eyesore, and a maintenance burden. Given that KVM *must* be able to recalculate the correct intercepts at any given time, and that MSR filter updates are not hot paths, there is zero benefit to maintaining the shadow bitmaps. Opportunistically switch from boot_cpu_has() to cpu_feature_enabled() as appropriate.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
