I'm afraid I would benefit from some extra description about why you
need to introduce a separate hook instead of using the existing
do_rdmsr hook in arch_vpmu_ops (which is already hooked into
guest_rdmsr()).
Are the MSRs you are trying to fetch not accessible for the guest
itself to read?
It seems fragile to me to add such kind of hook to read MSRs that's
only used by XEN_DOMCTL_get_vcpu_msrs and not guest_rdmsr(), so it
would need some clear justification about why it's needed.
Thanks, Roger.
