I'm guessing the simple fix would be this:
---
diff --git a/drivers/lguest/Kconfig b/drivers/lguest/Kconfig
index 169172d2ba05..9c08b3050bb7 100644
--- a/drivers/lguest/Kconfig
+++ b/drivers/lguest/Kconfig
@@ -1,6 +1,6 @@
config LGUEST
tristate "Linux hypervisor example code"
- depends on X86_32 && EVENTFD && TTY && PCI_DIRECT
+ depends on X86_32 && EVENTFD && TTY && PCI_DIRECT && !MICROCODE
select HVC_DRIVER
---help---
This is a very simple module which allows you to run

but maybe the better fix is to hack in MSR emulation in lguest and
intercept the *MSR accesses and do the writes/reads in the exception
fixup and ...
I haven't looked at the lguest code, of course and whether that's easily
doable and whether it even makes sense and whether one should simply use
qemu/kvm instead and, and, and...
