Need to handle the case where FRED MSRs are valid but KVM cannot virtualize FRED, see kvm_probe_msr_to_save().
Will take care of it, thanks for reminding.

Nothing guarantees FRED MSRs/VMCS fields exist on the hardware here. Probably use guest_cpu_cap_has()*.
Ah, my bad!

I think injecting #GP here is simply because KVM should emulate hardware behavior. To me, preventing guest from corrupting FRED MSRs is at most a byproduct. I prefer to drop the comment.
From security POV, this is important to mention.
