Looks this leading to MSR_IA32_INT_SSP_TAB not intercepted
after below steps:

Step 1. User space set cpuid w/ X86_FEATURE_LM, w/ SHSTK.
Step 2. User space set cpuid w/o X86_FEATURE_LM, w/o SHSTK.

Then MSR_IA32_INT_SSP_TAB won't be intercepted even w/o SHSTK
on guest cpuid, will this lead to inconsistency when do
rdmsr(MSR_IA32_INT_SSP_TAB) from guest in this scenario ?
Yes, theoretically it's possible, how about changing it as below?

vmx_set_intercept_for_msr(vcpu, MSR_IA32_INT_SSP_TAB,
MSR_TYPE_RW,
incpt | !guest_cpuid_has(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_LM));

Oops, should be : incpt || !guest_cpuid_has(vcpu, X86_FEATURE_LM)
