Err, this is wrong.

It is

  [PATCH 1/3] Revert "x86/msr: drop compatibility #GP handling in
  guest_{rd, wr}msr()"

which has comments on the commit message from Jan:

  So would you mind adjusting the description accordingly? [...]
  "In hindsight, this was a poor move [..,]

and Roger:

  I think it might be worth adding that guest access to those MSRs
  will now always trigger a #GP [...]

I could easily fold in Jan's comments but it would be better for
someone more familiar with the code do handle Roger's since Roger
doesn't provide a precise wording.

These two

  [PATCH 2/3] x86/msr: Forward port XSA-351 changes from 4.14
  [PATCH 3/3] x86/msr: Fix Solaris and turbostat following XSA-351

have reviews from Roger.
