[PATCH 2/3] x86/paravirt: Add paravirt_{read,write}_msr

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Wed Sep 16 2015 - 19:33:54 EST


This adds paravirt hooks for unsafe MSR access. On native, they
call native_{read,write}_msr. On Xen, they use
xen_{read,write}_msr_safe.

Nothing uses them yet for ease of bisection. The next patch will
use them in rdmsrl, wrmsrl, etc.

I intentionally didn't make them OOPS on #GP on Xen. I think that
should be done separately by the Xen maintainers.
