Switch MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0 between host and guest in vmx_prepare_switch_to_{host,guest}().
MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0 is used during ring 3 event delivery only, thus KVM, running on ring 0, can run safely with guest FRED RSP0, i.e., no need to switch between host/guest FRED RSP0 during VM entry and exit.
KVM should switch to host FRED RSP0 before returning to user level, and switch to guest FRED RSP0 before entering guest mode.
Heh, if only KVM had a framework that was specifically designed for context switching MSRs on return to userspace. Translation: please use the user_return_msr() APIs.
IIUC the user return MSR framework works for MSRs that are per CPU constants, but like MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE, MSR_IA32_FRED_RSP0 is a per *task* constant, thus we can't use it.
