[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86/vPMU: constrain MSR_IA32_DS_AREA loads

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

For one, loading the MSR with a possibly non-canonical address was
possible since the verification is conditional, while the MSR load
wasn't. And then for PV guests we need to further limit the range of
valid addresses to exclude the hypervisor range.
