This is to address a concern from Jim:
"Does this imply that, when restoring a vCPU, KVM_SET_CPUID2 must be called before
KVM_SET_MSRS, so that arch_lbr_depth_is_valid() knows what to do? Is this documented
anywhere?"
anyway, setting depth MSR shouldn't be hot path.

Hmm, should be vmcs_write to the DEPTH field, thanks for pointing this
out!
