The kernel now permits userspace to read `IA32_VMX_MISC_MSR` MSR to operate the VMX preemption timer in commit 7441046. This commit updates the manual to reflect that. Since the seL4 version in Microkit had been recently bumped which included that commit. Signed-off-by: Bill Nguyen <bill.nguyen@unsw.edu.au>
