Add support for handling "WRMSRNS with an immediate" VM-Exits in KVM's fastpath. On Intel, all writes to the x2APIC ICR and to the TSC Deadline MSR are non-serializing, i.e. it's highly likely guest kernels will switch to using WRMSRNS when possible. And in general, any MSR written via WRMSRNS is probably worth handling in the fastpath, as the entire point of WRMSRNS is to shave cycles in hot paths.

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.
