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.
