xen: suppress known wrmsrs
In general, Xen doesn't support wrmsr from an unprivileged domain; it
just ends up ignoring the instruction and printing a message on the
console.
Given that there are sets of MSRs we know the kernel will try to write
to, but we don't care, just eat them in xen_write_msr to cut down on
console noise.
