This is fantastic. Thank you. Along these lines, I wonder if we should
come up with a mechanism a la IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES (or AMD's OSVW
MSRs) for declaring fixed errata.

For example, today, KVM ignores the guest-only and host-only bits in
PerfEvtSel MSRs, but I can't imagine we're going to do that forever.
