Booting as a guest under KVM results in error messages about unchecked MSR access:
[ 6.814328][ T0] unchecked MSR access error: RDMSR from 0x17f at rIP: 0xffffffff84483f16 (mce_intel_feature_init+0x156/0x270) because KVM doesn't provide emulation for random model specific registers. Switch to using rdmsrl_safe()/wrmsrl_safe() to avoid the message.
