We only sync MSRs on save/restore.
Oh, really? Looks like I interpreted that code wrong :-).
Nevertheless, we don't use the hsave given by the guest OS, because we
can't trust it. So saving and restoring a non-used value sounds pretty
useless - unless you're migrating from KVM to Qemu. Is this kind of
migration (going to be) possible?
