https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2009/06/25/virtualization-and-performance-understanding-vm-exits

specificly...

3) "Save MSRs in the VM-exit MSR-store area."

and

5) "Load MSRs from the VM-exit MSR-load area."

but maybe thats not actyually true, I assumed it was given its an Intel 
document, but admittedly its not an actual specification.
