[PATCH 1/3] x86 msr: msr goto extension support

[kan . liang]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxx>

Currently, {rd,wr}msrl_safe can handle the exception which caused by accessing
specific MSR.
However, it will introduce extra conditional branch for testing errors. That
will impact the "fast" path's performance.
The newly implemented {rd,wr}msrl_goto function can not only handle the
exception which caused by accessing specific MSR,
but also takes advantage of the asm goto extension to eliminate the impact of
performance.

The asm goto extension is supported by GCC 4.5 and later versions. If the
compiler doesn't support goto extension, _safe will be used to replace _goto.
