MSR accesses can be one of: (1) KVM internal access, (2) userspace access (e.g., via KVM_SET_MSRS ioctl), (3) guest access. The ignore_msrs was previously handled by kvm_get_msr_common() and kvm_set_msr_common(), which is the bottom of the msr access stack. It's working in most cases, however it could dump unwanted warning messages to dmesg even if kvm get/set the msrs internally when calling __kvm_set_msr() or __kvm_get_msr() (e.g. kvm_cpuid()). Ideally we only want to trap cases (2) or (3), but not (1) above. To achieve this, move the ignore_msrs handling upper until the callers of __kvm_get_msr() and __kvm_set_msr(). To identify the "msr missing" event, a new return value (KVM_MSR_RET_INVALID==2) is used for that.

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.
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.
