I'm not sure that you need even this. Anyway, particular MSRs are function-specific, and if you're emulating an MSR in userspace, then, i believe, you know the function behind it. And it's IMHO safe to just know that SynIC MSRs have some extra handling in kernel. And i believe this has no direct impact on userland's behavior. But, you better know the details.
