KVM makes use of some custom MSRs to service some requests.
At present, this facility is only used by kvmclock.
Custom MSRs have a range reserved for them, that goes from
0x4b564d00 to 0x4b564dff. There are MSRs outside this area,

data: Bits 63-6 hold 64-byte aligned physical address of a
64 byte memory area which must be in guest RAM and must be
zeroed. Bits 5-1 are reserved and should be zero. Bit 0 is 1
when asynchronous page faults are enabled on the vcpu 0 when
disabled.
First 4 byte of 64 byte memory location will be written to by
the hypervisor at the time of asynchronous page fault (APF)
injection to indicate type of asynchronous page fault. Value
of 1 means that the page referred to by the page fault is not
present. Value 2 means that the page is now available. Disabling
interrupt inhibits APFs. Guest must not enable interrupt
before the reason is read, or it may be overwritten by another
APF. Since APF uses the same exception vector as regular page
fault guest must reset the reason to 0 before it does
something that can generate normal page fault. If during page
fault APF reason is 0 it means that this is regular page
fault.
During delivery of type 1 APF cr2 contains a token that will
be used to notify a guest when missing page becomes
available. When page becomes available type 2 APF is sent with
cr2 set to the token associated with the page. There is special
kind of token 0xffffffff which tells vcpu that it should wake
up all processes waiting for APFs and no individual type 2 APFs
will be sent.
If APF is disabled while there are outstanding APFs, they will
not be delivered.
Currently type 2 APF will be always delivered on the same vcpu as
type 1 was, but guest should not rely on that.
